                                      Designed with cultural, arts and community occasions in mind, our performances are an opportunity to showcase the unquestionably rich cultural heritage of the African diaspora. With a special focus on the traditional music, spoken word, dance and song of the Caribbean, Abela’s live performances are at once unique, energetic and uplifting. 

                                      Abela's impressive performance history cites the National Theatre (UK), The FutureShorts Short FIlm Festival (Russia), Sunsplash Festival (Jamaica), Cargo (UK), Shoreditch Festival (UK), RDYOYO Reggae Festival (Slovenia), and the Rebel Salute Festival (Jamaica) as partners in delivering culturally inspired performances to the public. Our performance experience includes the full spectrum of environments -  from  community festivals and club venues right up to large scale festivals and corporate functions.
