INSPIRED BY PRIDE & PASSION
When BASE Organisation first appeared on the scene in the UK circa late 1979, music and arts of African origin, which boasts a huge range of rich and colourful traditional values and diversity, perhaps more than any other ethnic group on the planet, was only being developed in the UK on a low scale and was on the margins of our society.
BASE Organisation has since continued to make waves in an industry where the longevity of such Black outfits is usually measured by a few years.
BASE Organisation occupies a unique position in the UK in the development and promotion of Black Music & Entertainment activities in the UK. Through its catalytic promotions, development of grass roots artist recording and showcasing of all music of Black Origin, BASE Group paved the way for Black music and entertaining activities to enter the UK mainstream.
Push by push through training seminars, lectures, park festivals, concerts, independence anniversary celebrations, airplay on Capital Radio’s World of Music, BBC and pirate radio stations, BASE Group led the gradual march of Black Music into the UK mainstream.
BASE AWARDS “BLACK ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS”
Without any doubt the enduring legacy of BASE Organisation must be the initiation in the UK of the 1st awards to honour achievers who have distinguished themselves in various professions.
Specifically, the project as a landmark event to seek to explore and acknowledge the artistic and scientific achievements of men, women & children of African & Caribbean origin, and tangibly illustrate the position influence of African & Caribbean culture on the world and our integration into British society without losing our sense of heritage.
INSPIRED BY PRIDE AND PASSION
To initiate and establish Black Arts and Music outfits by an African immigrant in the UK, irrespective of the tough uphill task is a remarkable feat.
As the saying goes “Behind every keg, is a power” and the power is behind BASE Organisation is the one and only Freddie Annang, the revolutionary promoter extraordinaire. In the UK, it is Freddie Annang, the influential power behind Black British Entertainment all the way from Soul, Jazz, Funk, R&B, Hip Hop, Reggae, Dancehall, African, Calypso, Soca, Zook to Bhangra.
Freddie Annang’s innovative visionary methods is been followed and mushroomed to help in nurturing the Artise and sporting prowess of the disadvantaged community to gain internal recognition.
The visionary thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible.
