Right now in Wales, something special is happening. There is an exciting black music scene making waves across Britain and beyond. A whole heap of Welsh black artists such as Mace the Great, Juice Menace and Sage Todz are all over network radio, playing major festivals, and feeling love and respect from around the world. But it’s the first time in history a scene of this scale has enjoyed this kind of success. So why has it taken so long?

In this documentary, Newport musician LEMFRECK explores the current scene but also looks to the past at the pioneers who paved the way for black music in Wales to thrive. Featuring Benji Webbe from Skindred, Eric Martin from Technotronic, Aleighcia Scott, Iris Williams and Anthony “Drumtan” Ward.
