The Dalston venue will be brimming with rhythms, grooves and beats from Kongo, Zimbabwe and South Africa to let you dance all the way from 9PM till 3.30AM in the morning.
For the occasion, Rhythm Passport will join forces once again with global beats and global bass purveyors University of Tropical Sound and their DJ troupe formed by Carthnage and Moon Presence (spinning Afro-bass, gqom and afrobeats from the DJ-deck) to deliver to the Jago dancefloor 6 hours of top-notch sounds starting with the afrobeat, highlife and afro-fusion joy spread by Thabany Nyoni and his T-Bone Afrika All-Stars.
They will raise the curtain on the event and set the party mood for the Afro-Latin musical exuberance of Juanita Euka. The singer/songwriter (niece of the legendary Congolese music ‘Grand Maitre’ Franco Luambo) was brought up in Buenos Aires and is currently jazzing up the London music scene enriching the line-up of bands like London Afrobeat Collective and Wara and Animanz (among others).
On the night, she will present her brand-new solo album Mabanzo, released only a few days ago via Strut Records and boasting a deluge of Congolese rumba, juicy Afro-Cuban accents, pinches of Afro-Latin styles like salsa and mambo as well as more London-inspired sounds like R&B, hip-hop and Nu-soul.
And after Juanita’s set…the ‘Queen of Afrorave’, Toya Delazy! London-based, but born and bred in Zululand, Toya is a singer, producer, pianist, dancer and performer who brings dance music to the next level. Her sound is indeed based on techno, deep house and d’n’b, which she enhances with quintessential Zulu-inspired vibes and rhythmic patterns characterised by relentless drumming and an Afro-futurist attitude.
Her sets are one-of-a-kind, intense and sweaty music ceremonies during which you are lured and charmed into a swirl of incessant beats and end up dancing for hours and hours and hour and…
