A Global Cultural Engine for Black and African Futures
ReBAND is a multi-year global initiative designed to Reclaim, Restory, and Reunite Black, African, and Diaspora identity through culture, creativity, and collective power.
Who Are We
A Movement Built for a New Cultural Era
ReBAND — Reclaim. Restory. Reunite. Black, African Nations, and Diaspora — is a multi-year movement conceived by Racecourse Media, a subsidiary of Racecourse Capital, and endorsed by the Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilization (CBAAC), a parastatal under Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism, and the Creative Economy.
ReBAND is designed to deliver global activations leading into the 50th anniversary of FESTAC ’77 in 2027.
Our First Project
Road to FESTAC
Road to FESTAC is ReBAND’s first project, designed as a global engine reconnecting Africa and its diaspora through creativity, storytelling, talent development, and cultural diplomacy.
The Lagos Kickoff (December 2025) marks the first public unveiling of the movement—an intimate, high-impact moment designed for early supporters, cultural leaders, global brands, and investors to align with Africa’s next defining cultural era.
Our Pillars
ReBAND is a global cultural engine built on three core pillars
Why ReBAND. Why Now?
The Cultural Economy Gap
Africa’s creative economy is valued at $59B yet remains under-structured and under-capitalized—representing less than 3% of the $2T global creative industry and contributing under 1% to Africa’s GDP.
This gap reflects missing infrastructure, monetization pathways, and coordinated global platforms.
ReBAND exists to close that gap.
What We Do?
From Culture to Capability
ReBAND is designed to:
- Equip creatives with world-class tools and resources
- Build sustainable, cross-border creative ecosystems
- Expand economic participation through culture and digital innovation
- Strengthen identity, confidence, and global connection
How We Come to Life
- Live conversations and salons
- Art, music, and performance
- Creator and brand collaborations
- Spaces to build, imagine, and organize together
The FESTAC Moment
A Once-in-a-Generation Catalyst
The return of FESTAC in 2027, hosted by Nigeria, creates a rare global moment to reposition Africa and its diaspora at the center of global cultural leadership.
Beginning in December 2025, ReBAND will roll out global activations on the Road to FESTAC 2027, building momentum toward the Golden Jubilee.
