Celebrating the legacy of Midnite / Akae Beka

Coventry’s all female sound system, Sisters In Dub, brings the community together for a special gathering honouring Vaughn Benjamin, the legendary voice and lyrical force behind Midnite and Akae Beka.

On 4th November 2019, Vaughn transitioned from this earthly plane. As we mark seven years since his passing, we celebrate a legacy that continues to awaken minds, nourish souls and challenge the way we see the world.

As a scholar, poet and master lyricist, Vaughn’s music reached far beyond reggae. Rooted in Rastafari, his words explored spirituality, philosophy, history, ancient wisdom, science, consciousness, numerology, social injustice and humanity’s connection to one another and the natural world. His music was a call to question, reason, seek knowledge and live with greater awareness.

Words, Sound & Power is a space to reconnect with the message, reflect on the teachings and share in the power of conscious roots music.

Powered by Sisters In Dub sound system, expect a deep, 100% Midnite and Akae Beka selection, a communal drumming circle and a listening and reasoning session exploring the words, wisdom and enduring message of Vaughn Benjamin.

Joined by Guest selector 'Iman' from Birmingham, we invite you to come together in unity, share knowledge and celebrate a voice whose message remains as relevant and necessary today as ever.

Held in The Tin Community Space

14+ (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult)
