Songs, Poetry and Dance of the People: live performance showcase at Hason Raja Centre, London

The RadhaRaman Society hosted an evening of live performances celebrating working-class poetry from Bengal to Britain, alongside the launch of the New School of Cockney Poets project. Curated by poet Ahmed Kaysher, the event brought together both emerging and established performers who explored themes of labour, resilience, and community through song, poetry, dance, and visual imagery.

Drawing inspiration from the experiences of workers - from the paddy fields of Bangladesh to the factories of northern England - the performances highlighted shared struggles and cultural connections. Held in London’s East End at the Hason Raja Centre, the evening blended the lively atmosphere of a Cockney knees-up with the intimate, social spirit of a Cockney-Bengali adda. The event concluded with Dhamail, a traditional folk music and dance from the Mymensingh/Sylhet region, inviting audience members to participate.

A heartfelt Thank You to all the talented artists who participated in the showcase.
