About this audiobook
Black Rhythm is a literary coming-of-age novel that follows Damilola, a young drummer from the streets of Lagos, as he discovers how rhythm can become language, memory, resistance, and responsibility. From a childhood shaped by loss and survival to the creation of a community-rooted cultural movement, the story traces how music carries history while shaping identity. Through intimate moments of family, mentorship, doubt, and courage, the novel explores what it means to honor tradition without being trapped by it, to grow without forgetting where you come from, and to build legacy through shared sound rather than personal fame. Grounded, emotional, and deeply human, Black Rhythm is a story about how the beat we inherit can outlive us when we learn how to carry it forward.
