Africa Beyond is the place to find out about African arts and culture in the UK and beyond. The website, launched in March 2007, incorporates the BBC's existing site Africa on your Street, already a favourite destination for lovers of African music. The Africa Beyond website highlights African film, theatre, dance, literature, and visual arts; while Africa on your Street will bring you gig listings, CD reviews, interviews and music news, from Afrobeat to Hiplife to Mbalax.
We welcome your help to make this website a hub for information, discussion and exploration of African arts, beyond the geographical borders of the continent, and beyond any preconceptions about Africa and its culture. If you have information about an event or would like to contribute in some other way, please do contact us

Their knives and their guns could not hold me, their drinks and their drugs could not control me, their education could not school me, their religion could not fool me, their women could never tempt me
their politicians could never rent me, but the babylon daughter still got my pikney!
