Curated vinyl listening session
Host: ChefKD
Info: This isn’t the usual amapiano or Afrobeats playlist. I’ll be digging into African funk, highlife, Afrobeat, soukous, jazz-fusions and other dancefloor sounds that deserve a little more time in the spotlight!
Expect infectious rhythms, big grooves and records that make you want to move. Be ready to throw in a little two-step, a little shoulder work, or whatever your dancefloor language is.
Come ready to dance!
