Refugees are artists, educators, entrepreneurs, neighbours and leaders. Meet MoYah | Afro-Fusion Rapper | Educator 🌍
We’re delighted to welcome Moyah to our Refugee Week 🧡 Week event in Bristol on 17th June, an evening of conversation, food and music exploring how we build connection and understanding across differences in an increasingly divided world.
An award-winning Afrofusion rapper, artistic activist, educator and creative producer, MoYah’s work sits at the intersection of music, migration, education and environmental justice.
Born in Mozambique during the country’s civil war, he fled as a political refugee before growing up in Lisbon, where Hip Hop became a powerful outlet for self-expression and community. Drawing on his lived experience, his music explores the themes of migration, belonging and social justice.
Known for his electrifying live performances, MoYah has performed in 17 countries and shared stages with artists including Nas, Talib Kweli and K’naan. Beyond music, he delivers creative programmes around the world and is Hip Hop Garden Manager and Ambassador at May Project Gardens, combining music, food growing and creative education to empower communities.
In 2025, he co-founded Refugee Week Portugal, celebrating the contributions of refugee and migrant communities through arts and culture, and was nominated as an Human Journeys • IMIX Refugee Ambassador in recognition of his advocacy and leadership.
Join us to hear MoYah perform live alongside conversations with our CEO and Founder Jess Thompson, Bristol’s new Lord Mayor Yassin Mohamud, Migrateful chef Kele, and Kalpna Woolf about how we can build a more connected, welcoming and united city.
Plus enjoy delicious tasters from Migrateful chefs from Somalia, Sudan and Kurdistan.
