AFRICA IN APRIL TAKEOVER!!!

We present to you...

WAHALA
An Afro-Beat Explosion!!!

This years Africa in April celebrates the rich culture of Nigeria. Nigeria is the 7th largest oil country and home to Afro-Beat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Fela's music captivated audiences with his heavy political lyrics that spoke of Nigeria's corporate and government corruption. He used music as his weapon to fight back against the V.I.P.s (vagabonds in power) and I.T.T.s (International Thief Thief), thus making him the original "Black President" for the people.

This day party is going to take you on a journey to Lagos, and back with funky horns, heavy basslines, mesmerizing lyrics and lush polyrhythms, so be prepared to sweat and gyrate!!! An remember no WAHALA!!!
