The BEST From AFRICA

Join us for a first class night of African music and dance with the Songlines Awards 2014 Nominee (Best Newcomer and Best Artist) SIMO LAGNAWI and The GNAWA BLUES ALL STARS from Morocco and the almighty KRAR COLLECTIVE From Ethiopia “one of the most rousing, reliable new African bands of the year” The Guardian

“one of the grooviest and most hypnotic bands at Damon Albarn's recent Africa Express bonanza. Expect an ultra-repetitive funky dance marathon.” Time Out

"It’s not often you see a group of just three musicians, playing with two hand-made instruments,who can keep a nightclub crowd dancing, singing, whooping, and ululating for nearly three hours. But that’s what went down last night at the Cabaret du Mile End in Montreal when Krar Collective of Ethiopia gave their debut performance at the 27th Festival International Nuits d’Afrique". Afropop

"They may use ancient instruments, but there’s nothing arcane about the way that they play them. This is hot ‘n’ hypnotic dance music...Krar Collective rock!” fRoots Magazine

Plus DJ Chief Commander Yaaba
