Rap Poetry at London's RFH: THIS AFTERNOON

Arapiat, Zena Edwards + Kat Francois

Purcell Room, South Bank Centre, London
Poetry International Festival
4pm, 28 October 2006

Arapiat are poetic pioneers: an Arabic rap duo whose lyrics have wowed audiences across Europe with their incendiary blend of social issues and attitudes on what it means to be Arab and female in the 21st century. Zena Edwards is the queen of the performance scene in London, mixing a capella, marimba and opulent lyricism and her complex, sensuous voice is music itself. Kat Francois won the BBC3 Poetry Slam and is an internationally acclaimed slam champion.

Ticket price includes free entry to the Festival Debate at 2pm
