Carlos Moore comes to Purcell Room, Friday 8 July

Carlos Moore is playing Purcell Room tomorrow night and is well worth a look! His story is absolutely incredible, and this show promises anecdotes and truly amazing stories from throughout his life.

“Carlos Moore is joined by John Akomfrah, from Smoking Dog Films, and Margaret Busby, founder of Allison and Busby publishers, for a night of readings and recollections about his amazing life. Banished from his native Cuba for his opposition to Castro’s racial policies, Carlos Moore has since lived in many lands during his 34-year exile. A distinguished academic, journalist and writer, he met Fela Kuti in Nigeria and wrote a biography of the late great African musician, This Bitch of a Life, in 1982. His most recent book is Pichon – Race and Revolution in Castro’s Cuba.”
