Regular dance and live music night Festa Axé keeps true to its name: Axé (ashay), in Yoruba/Afro-Brazilian dialect means light, power and good vibrations! Brazilian ceildh, caprinhias, live music and more co-hosted by Katumba and Capoeira for All (CIC). Click here to find out more.

Background

Katumba Culture Hub (known by our members as “Kasa Katumba”) was renovated from a run-down Victorian schoolhouse to a vibrant multi-purpose space in September 2018. The work would not have been possible without the support of Toxteth TV and efforts of Katumba community: over 50 wonderful people volunteered their time and skills to smash, build, paint, clean and create this fantastic space.
