Hennessy and NTS will be hosting two club nights, Hennessy Lates, at Somerset House on 15 and 16 August.
The first night will be curated and hosted by legendary grime MC and Boy Better Know member Jammer, who will also be performing. He’ll be joined by jungle legend General Levi and garage soundsystem Heartless Crew.
August 16 will feature artists from the next generation with 8-piece jazz and Afrobeat band Kokoroko. They’ll be playing alongside multi-instrumentalist CKTRL, plus DJs AMZ and Tej Adeleye.
This series will be bringing to life the Hennessy: For The Culture installation, which is a part of the larger Get Up, Stand Up exhibition. The installation explores, through photographs and artist interviews, the story of British black music and how the 250 year old cognac brand has established its strong position within hip-hop and grime.
