Join us for an extraordinary journey into the world of Ki’mon! The Eastern Nigerian Afro-Funk Revolution: 1970-1980, a captivating documentary that transcends borders and tells a universal story of resilience and renewal. Presented by the African Music Library and renowned historian Nze Ed Keazor, this film is not just about music, but about the power of art to uplift a nation during its most challenging times.
Ki’mon! takes you deep into post-Biafra Nigeria, where musicians used Afro-Funk as a tool for healing and transformation, creating a vibrant cultural movement that inspired hope in the aftermath of war. The documentary, co-produced with veteran Afro-Funk drummer Eddie Offeyi, features the voices of the legends who lived through this era of recovery, giving audiences a rare window into the impact of music on communities in crisis.
This is not just a film for music lovers—Ki’mon! is for anyone who believes in the resilience of the human spirit and the ability of culture to heal and inspire.
