THURSDAY FEBRUARY 4TH|DIASPORA RISING|
Maisha Productions extends its international flavor to Oakland with “Diaspora Rising,” a new free weekly party, happening Thursdays in 2010 at Levende East. Drawing from a rich cultural palette, the night offers a dizzying array of genres and subgenres, each relating a distinct aspect of the Diasporan experience. The fervent pulse of Afrobeat, the tribal electronica of Afro-house, the intense uptempo rhythms of soca, soukous, and zouk, the smooth syncopation of Afro-Cuban son, the tropical lushness of Brazilian samba, and the modernized hybrid forms of reggaeton, bhangra, dubba nova (bossa nova + dub), and cumbia nuevo are just some of the musical bases Diaspora Rising touches on.
Resident DJ JEREMIAH (Sila, Maisha Productions) welcomes special guest DJ MPENZI (Knowmadic Dj’s|MAJOR) to rock alongside with him.
