30 years ago, one of the greatest albums in hip hop was released. Combining lyrical dexterity and poetry, with soul and R&B, groundbreaking internal rhyme patterns with Haitian and Jamaican musical influences, Fugees released The Score. Peaking at No.1 on both the Billboard 200 and the R&B/Hip-hop album charts, it became one of the best-selling albums of all time. The singles ‘Killing Me Softly’, ‘Fu-Gee-La', and ‘Ready or Not’ helped the group - Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill and Pras - achieve worldwide recognition.

In collaboration with SONY Music, incredible contemporary poets will share new verse and fresh perspectives in response to the timeless journeys, questions and reflections of The Score. Our stellar line-up includes: Crispin Best, Nadeem Din-Gabisi, Aniefiok 'Neef' Ekpoudom, Simeon Farrar, Hasti, Adam Kammerling, Theresa Lola, Keri Mosuro, Laurie Ogden, Riwa Saab, Binta Yade and Inua Ellams, plus music from DJ Sid Mercutio.

It's a voice that the world knows and the album that put her in the spotlight forever. Céline Dion’s breakout LP Falling Into You (1996) blends pop, rock, soul, and gospel into a richly cinematic sound. Featuring unforgettable songs like Diane Warren and David Foster's “Because You Loved Me” and Jim Steinman's “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”, the album acted as a showcase for Dion’s dramatic emotional range and razor-sharp technical acumen. Falling ultimately sold over 32 million copies worldwide, won Dion GRAMMYS for both Album of the Year and Best Pop Album, cemented her as the definitive voice of 1990s pop, and granted her undying status as a beloved diva and queer icon. Honoring the 30th anniversary of the seminal album, the playwright and raconteur Inua Ellams invites you to his Rhythm And Poetry (R.A.P.) Party, featuring ten of New York’s most gifted poets and spoken word artists sharing new works inspired by Dion’s music and impact. Join us for a nostalgia-filled night of power ballads, lyric poems, and a celebration of the transformative power of music.

Our stellar line-up includes: Jose Alvarez, Sam Cha, Carlos Andrés Gómez, Darrel Alejandro Holnes, Nabila Lovelace, Sarah Maslin Nir, Ladan Osman, Tina Santana, Heather Taylor,  and Inua Ellams, plus music from DJ Khalil

Permanent crisis is not an accident but the outcome of an order built on empire, war, and inequality, and as this order tightens its grip, resistance becomes a political necessity, which is why Resistance is Existence takes place in London on 24 March.

I’m gonna be sharing the stage with some of our foremost thinkers. I hope you can make it.

A VERY special edition of this show. Littered with poems, stories and anecdotes, An Evening with an Immigrant tells my ridiculous, fantastic and poignant immigrant-story.

The show had a sell-out five-star (What’s on Stage) run at Bridge Theatre.

See it now with a new soundtrack by Ivor Novello-winning-artist Laura Mvula, commissioned and created especially for our Multitudes festival and performed live by Chineke! Orchestra, one of South Bank Centre’s six Resident Orchestras.

I’m gonna tell of escaping fundamentalist Islam, performing solo shows at the National Theatre and drinking wine with the Queen of England, all the while without a country to belong to or place to call home.

My words will be soundtracked by Laura’s score, transporting audiences on a journey around and out of this world.
