- Synopsis
- "'Shake your body and forget your sorrow!'. That’s what we are preaching on." In 90s Britain, a small Nigerian community began to build following the influx of migration from the West African powerhouse country throughout the 70s and 80s. In the back hall of a school somewhere in London, Nigerians began to find their way back to each other. ÓWÀMBÈ is more than a party. It's a ritual.ÓWÀMBÈ is a docu-fiction film looking behind the sounds, tastes, and traditions of ÓWÀMBÈ in Britain - the life and soul of Nigerian party culture and community - throughout the 90s and early 2000s.
