Hi my name is Renata di Leone and I am a DJ in Rome.
This niche is dedicated to the Shrine.

The Shrine is a  monthly event  at AKAB in Testaccio, the centre of clubland in Rome .The night is called The Shrine after the venue ran by legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti.

The Shrine in Lagos was a place where Fela played regularly and celebrated inspirational new performers. His son Femi has continued the tradition of the Shrine.

This niche the Virtual Home of the Shrine, a continuing afrocentric event. 

In the spirit of the original Shrine here you will find news, pictures and videos of everything to do with the events, featured performers,artists and Friends of The Shrine. We invite you to upload related material here.

We welcome music and art content that is original, afrocentric and inspiring.

Feel free to showcase your work or upload audition material if you would like to appear at the Shrine in Rome.
