Yankari presents: Calabash Night 2
Dublin City, Co. Dublin
8 August 2026
In kitchens across the African continent, gourds from the calabash tree have long been used as vessels where many different ingredients come together to create something nourishing and shared.

Inspired by that tradition, Orogun Media’s Calabash is a celebration of musical exchange, bringing together artists and audiences through a rich blend of sounds, cultures and traditions.

This edition features a live performance from Yankari, whose infectious Afrobeat rhythms draw from the legacy of Fela Kuti while forging a distinctly contemporary voice. Returning after helping shape the atmosphere of the first Calabash are Frawl, the acclaimed Limerick DJ and promoter.

Joining the family for the first time is Ta Seti Sound, bringing the warmth and energy of live reggae music to complete an evening built on rhythm, connection and cultural exchange.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
