NaN

NaN draws inspiration from the diasporic roots of British street music, where Caribbean migrants have created a vibrant underground scene with vinyl stalls, bootlegs and improvised sets. Drawing on the spirit of Camden and Portobello, NaN embraces sound as an unadulterated cultural expression and resists the erasure of this heritage through gentrification. Their work is part of a wider movement to reclaim the communal and political power of music.
