Float Like a Butterfly: Muhammad Ali
World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens, SW11 7BD , [Venue Details]Presented by World Heart Beat, Float Like a Butterfly: Muhammad Ali is a musical portrait of one of the most influential cultural figures of the 20th century.
Muhammad Ali was more than a sporting legend. He was a global voice for justice, dignity, and peace, whose words, presence, and convictions resonated far beyond the boxing ring. His poetic declarations, fearless activism, and unwavering sense of identity helped define the cultural and political imagination of his era.
This concert will feature music rooted in the Civil Rights Movement and the African American jazz tradition, reflecting both the world that shaped Ali and the world he helped to change. The programme includes music associated with or emblematic of the era and its spirit, including Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Sam Cooke, and James Brown.
At its heart is the idea of the ‘inner and outer champion’, Ali as both a physical force and spiritual figure; a man whose strength in the ring was matched by his conviction outside it.
From Louisville to global icon, the evening traces a journey through struggle, identity, and transformation. It is a celebration of voice, courage, and the enduring search for unity.
The programme is curated by Ava Joseph and Ayo Vincent, both alumni and Heart Beat mentors and musicians.
