TODAY WE CELEBRATE 🙏🏾✨

Tomorrow we celebrate 9 years of #SDWEEKLY ‼️ This clip is from 2018 - #SDWEEKLY Live in Buster Mantis at 10:53pm 🎥

What started as a small weekly gathering has grown into a living community built through live music, improvisation, ritual and connection.

For 9 years we’ve gathered week after week with musicians, artists, dancers, listeners and beautiful souls from all walks of life - creating space for freedom, expression and togetherness through the sounds of the Afro-diaspora.

Tomorrow we celebrate that journey together.

As always, expect a collective midweek spirit cleanse with deep improvisation. This is where we go to let go of the weight of the world!

Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or this is your first time stepping into the room - we’d love to share this moment with you.

Tell a friend to tell a friend ❤️ See you tomorrow.

🤯🤯🤯🤯

We’re exploring the sounds of the diaspora as a living, breathing conversation - where rhythm, history, and futures collide in real time through improvisation and communal energy.

Rooted in London but reaching far beyond it, our SDW sessions draw from across the Black Atlantic and beyond, creating something fluid, spiritual, and constantly evolving.

There’s a new kind of live music ritual forming in the city - #SDWEEKLY feels less like a gig and more like stepping into a moment that can’t be recreated anywhere else.

See you on Wednesday ‼️

EXPLORE 🌍✨

Freedom isn’t always loud.

Sometimes it’s subtle. Internal. Felt before it’s understood.

At #SDWEEKLY, freedom looks like:

showing up as you are,
playing without fear,
listening without expectation,
being held in a room where nothing is forced.

It’s in the moments where the music takes over.

Where time stretches.

Where you forget yourself -and somehow find something deeper.
Spiritual. Physical. Creative. Psychological.
All of it, moving at once.
This week, we lean into that.
Into voice, into rhythm, into release.

Come as you are. Leave a little lighter. See you Wednesday ✨

Lately we’ve been sitting with the idea that sound isn’t something you just hear - it’s something you move through.
A rhythm you return to. A place you remember.

Not a show, not a performance - just presence.

At #SDWEEKLY, it’s less about what’s happening out there
and more about what’s opening up within.

If you feel it, come be part of it.

See you Wednesday ✨

The journey starts here…

Not a show - Community in Motion.

see you Wednesday ✨❤️ #sdweekly

ÍKHÂYA (Noun) 🏡✨

The Zulu and (Xhosa) word for “home” is ikhaya (noun), which refers to a place of belonging, comfort, and family.

With the state of our current world, let us remind ourselves of the places we call home and cherish them deeply. Wherever our community exists is where we call home. And #SDWEEKLY will always be home for us all.

See you Wednesday 🏡

Music is our medicine. ⛑️💊

Earlier this week we stepped into a space that reminded us of something we’ve always known - that sound is not performance, it’s a practice.

Not worship, but embodiment.
Everything living vibrates.

Plants. Bodies. Brass. Breath.

At #SDWEEKLY we’re not chasing spectacle - we’re tuning frequency.

Going inward and outward at the same time.
Letting the art of surrender become alchemy.

See you on Wednesday. ✨
