Rahana Dariah / Black History Month UK

Rahana Dariah

October is the month of celebrating black history in the UK, Rahana Dariah has illustrated this piece depicting a Blues party or commonly called a Shoobs. These were house parties started by the West Indian community who arrived in the UK in the 50s and 60s. Sounds of Ska to Lovers rock was heard booming from the sound systems at these parties. Rahana is a huge music lover and she wanted to show black joy in the 70s and how music and togetherness was celebrated by her elders.
