Delado: Drumming to the beat of cultural revival

National Museums Liverpool Podcast - A podcast by National Museums Liverpool - Thursdays

In this episode, we explore the importance of cultural identity and how music and dance serve as powerful forces for uplifting communities.   We speak with former Delado dancer Maxine Brown and Project Facilitator Eliss Eyo-Thompson about Delado's emergence as a community dance project in the aftermath of the Toxteth riots, its growth into one of Liverpool's leading exponents of African culture during the 1980s, and the legacy it has left behind.
