When the rhythm of the talking drum echoes across the United Kingdom, one name commands instant recognition, Mr Culture Ayan De First. A man of rare talent and grace. Ayan De First has redefined what it means to be a cultural ambassador, performer, and innovator of traditional African sound.

Far more than a drummer, he is an experience. With every beat, he tells stories that bridge continents, invoking both heritage and modern sophistication. His presence on stage is magnetic, his artistry effortless. From royal audiences to political leaders and captains of industry, Mr Ayan has performed before the crème de la crème of society, each time leaving an indelible impression.

One of his career-defining milestones came when he became the first talking drummer to perform before the British Royal Family,- a historic achievement that positioned him as a cultural icon and record-breaker in his field. Yet, Mr Culture shows no sign of slowing down.

In yet another landmark performance, Ayan De First recently returned from Santorini, Greece, where he once again made history, becoming the first-ever talking drummer to perform on the Mediterranean Sea. The occasion was a dual celebration- Princess Iyunade Tiaraoluwa’s 2nd birthday and Wale Adetoro’s 50th birthday- a breathtaking event that saw guests sailing for five hours amidst the dazzling blues of the Aegean, serenaded by the rhythmic magic of the talking drum.

It was more than a performance; it was a moment of joy, culture, and connection. Guests were spellbound, moved by the unique sound that transcends borders and language.

As he continues to raise the bar, one thing remains clear: Mr Culture cannot stop breaking records. His artistry is as boundless as his ambition.

At Roseonallsides.com, we celebrate this phenomenal cultural ambassador and look forward with excitement to his upcoming event - the Annual African Cultural Night, a grand celebration of African heritage and creativity in the United Kingdom.

The much-anticipated event will take place on Friday, 14th November 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. at the Regency Banqueting Suites, 115 Bruce Grove, London N17 7UR. Guests are expected to attend in their finest African attire for what promises to be a spectacular evening of culture, music, and unity.

Indeed, Mr Culture Ayan D First is not just beating the drum, he’s leading a movement.
