The Dublin Fringe is in full swing and the city is bustling with unique events and performances of all stripes. With so much going on – it can be hard to single out any one particular show. That said, it always pays to take note of anything bearing the Fried Plantains Collective name.
Black Jam is Fried Plantain’s night celebrating the experiences of and art produced by disparate members of the Afro diaspora. Big Joanie is jetting over from London and bringing some black feminist sistah punk with her. Then it’s time for some grunge meets soul by way of punk and psychedelia as Sabatta take to the stage. Completing the line-up, we’ve got Dublin’s best Afro-trad band Rhythm Africana and a performance from Côte d’Ivoire’s premier freestyle rapper, MAI.
Eclecticism in the extreme and all in service of providing a platform for voices all too often overlooked – this isn’t a show to be missed.
