CDR – In The Room with Nyamekye Junction
CDR will host a unique writing and recording camp at The Room Studios in Lewisham, bringing together a diverse group of outstanding UK music creators and guiding them through a creative exchange with each other and an innovative Ghanaian band – Nyamekye Junction. The camp will be fully-immersive for the artists, held over 4 intensive days in August and culminating in a live performance. <br /><br />Tony Nwachukwu from CDR says: “Cultural exchanges are out of reach for most artists as they so often require big budgets and sending people out of the country, which is even more difficult than ever post Covid. But this is a really unique chance to foster an international collaboration for grassroots artists here in London, which is why I’m so excited by it.”
