The Back Story
Voted for by the public in 2020, BRAFA Square in Hackney is named in honour of the British Reggae Artists Famine Appeal team. In 1985 BRAFA brought together over 200 local people and reggae artists to record a charity single Let’s Make Africa Green Again at Hive Studio, Stoke Newington. The following year they organised a benefit concert in Shoreditch Park, next to the site of the new public square, that was attended by 10,000 people. All the proceeds BRAFA raised went to Save the Children’s Ethiopian famine campaign.
