Journey from Jamaica iBrina – Merchant City Festival
30 and 31 July, 2022
iBrina and Special Guests
City Halls, Candleriggs, Glasgow G1 1NQ
An event exploring how traditional folk tales, stories and songs are the last link to the homeland of some New Scots. Originally scheduled as part of Celtic Connections 2022, Scotland based Jamaican singer-songwriter iBrina pays homage to the idea of Home at Merchant City Festival, inviting a world-class ensemble of musical friends to join her for a night of dynamism and transcultural expression.
Just over a decade ago, iBrina left Jamaica and set out on a journey that would ultimately see Scotland become her new home. Join singer-songwriter iBrina and her world-class ensemble of musical friends as they celebrate the rich cultural tapestry of modern Scotland, through stories of migration, displacement, joy and humanity.
