Local charity Refugee Radio is teaming up with Climate Connections to bring a world of music to Brighton seafront this August Bank Holiday Monday.

At one of Brighton’s most historic locations on one of Brighton’s busiest days of the year, this is going to be something special.

New bands Planet Gnawa and the Refugee Radio Orchestra will be playing at the “Birdcage Bandstand” from 1pm.

Planet Gnawa are led by the master Moroccan musician, Maalem Simo Lagnawi and a team of young virtuosos fusing traditional desert instruments with electric blues.

The Refugee Radio Orchestra are a band of refugees, asylum seekers and local musicians who have been formed to show how we can all get together and get along with a shared love of music. They play a mixture of Iranian and Kurdish melodies with modern reggae and hiphop.

Refugee Radio is a Brighton-based charity working to promote better community relations. Climate Connections is a new project looking at the impact of climate change globally and in Brighton and Hove. There is a connection between immigration and the environment as more people are becoming climate refugees. Individuals throughout the world are united in facing the same challenge.
