Electrafrique Host Villagers at Carnivore for Monthly Party (15th Feb)

E

lectrafrique, Kenya’s number one collective that performs afro-electronic music and quality Electronic Dance Music (EDM), is hosting The Villagers Band at Carnivore’s Simba Saloon for the second edition of its monthly party on the 15^th of February 2014. This is following a successful January premiere in the series of parties by Electrafrique held at Carnivore every third Saturday of the month (2014).

The Villagers Band’s impression of afro-fusion renowned as begenge is heavily influenced by benga, mbalax and kwela among other genres. Come and witness the perfect blend between electro/futuristic music and authentic African sounds with rich instrumentation: from horns to traditional instruments like drums and percussion.

Electrafrique is a premier dance music show, which brings together a worldwide network of artists fusing elements of African music with electronic beats finding roots in African rhythms and musical traditions. It adds a contemporary urban/futuristic electronic twist to its groove culminating into an unforgettable experience and movement that resonates with people and dance floors in all corners of the world.

Electrafrique continues to host a monthly dance party dedicated to African music lovers in New York in conjunction with Okayafrica. Most recently (Feb 8th), DJ Cortega played at NY’s The 303 at LOUIE and CHAN. Electrafrique will be hosting renowned local and international acts on a regular basis in Nairobi. It has in the past hosted Black Motion (South Africa), Boddhi Satva(CAR), Carlos Mena (US), or Renato Xtrova (Angola); all (except Boddhi ) for the first time in Kenya.
