Black On The Square returned to Trafalgar Square for its fourth year yesterday - and when we say the community showed up… they SHOWED UP. ๐ค
Black businesses, organisations, creatives, families and performers filled the Square. The sun was SUNNING โ๏ธ and the energy matched it.
A special thanks to @debbie.wb, @unitedborders, @childrensblackbookfair, @sicklecelluk and @limitlessliveldn for taking the time to stop and speak with us.
Big love to everyone who played their part throughout the day, with @djagonline, @tom_warriors, @triniboijoocie, @msbanks, @donaeo, @beverleyknight, @__fibii__ , @just_geen and @damagernb just some of the names doing their thing.
Four years in, Black On The Square continues to put Black culture, talent, enterprise and community right in the heart of London. Big up @mayorofldn and everyone who made it happen.
๐ฅ๐ค
This year @nhcarnivalldn, we jumped on the Mangrove live music truck with @jusnowmusic for a little taste of ‘The Weekend’. ๐
Safe to say the energy was exactly where it needed to be. Carnival in full effect, crowd locked in and plenty of familiar faces along the route.
One for the Carnival memory bank. โค๏ธ๐๐
A few moments from a very special Notting Hill Carnival with Lord Kitchener providing the soundtrack ๐๐ถ
Here’s to the next 60. โค๏ธ๐๐

South London link-up. Mercury Prize nominated drummer, producer and composer Moses Boyd (@mosesboydexodus) joined Tanya Noushka (@tanya_noushka) earlier this afternoon.
Born and raised in South London, Moses has built a sound that moves between jazz, grime, electronic and club culture, very much on his own terms.
A great conversation and a pleasure having Moses spend some time with us at CFM.
