Exhibition Details
"Red Light Busking presents Kanda Vol.1 – Bedroom Shut, Music Up" is an immersive journey into the sounds, struggles, and resilience of African Caribbean youth navigating life in the early 2000s. This one-of-a-kind exhibition will transport you to a recreated bedroom from the era, telling the story of two brothers—one in school, the other imprisoned. Through music, oral histories, and interactive experiences, you’ll explore themes of youth culture, systemic exclusion, and the transformative power of music as resistance and expression.

🔥 Grime Meets Acoustic Soul | Rage & Ivanmore Reimagine "Cammy Ridden" LIVE at Red Light Busking 🔥
At Red Light Busking, we’re always exploring new ways to bring powerful musical performances directly to the public — raw, live, and unfiltered. For this session, we wanted to try something different: how can we blend the emotional depth of acoustic instruments with the lyrical intensity of grime?
To bring that vision to life, we teamed up with Rage, from the legendary grime collective Slewdem Mafia, and the soul-singing, guitar-strumming powerhouse Ivanmore, to reinterpret one of Rage’s standout tracks, “Cammy Ridden”, in a completely new format. Expect raw lyrics, real emotion, and stripped-back acoustic instrumentation that lets the message hit even harder.
⚠️ Parental Advisory – the lyrics are strong, but honest and authentic to the artist. That’s something we always support.
This session is a clash of energies — grime meets soul, hard meets soft, and artists from different worlds connect through shared musical truth.

As part of Leyton Mas Carnival, we created a live performance stage in the shop space of Hair Affairs Boutique, giving the very best in live music and serving handmade patties that packed a punch. Jerk chicken, spicy prawn, and big-flavor veg—carnival tastes, reggae beats, and community vibes all under one roof.
