Tonight is Afro Funke' - 10/8

Hey y'all, it's Thursday, and as usual there are too many things to do! If you haven't been to Afro Funke', tonight is residents night, and the perfect chance to discover what we are all about.

And below are allllll your other night life options! Enjoy:



Thursday night was a whirlwind with AFRO FUNKE's founders
spreading the vibes all around LA. CARY SULLIVAN producing KCRW's "Sounds Around Town" while ROCKY DAWUNI served as the musical guest for the Governor's Global Summit on Climate Change, and JEREMY SOLE holding it down tight at Zanzibar.

Thanks to DJ SEP for coming down from the Bay to share her sounds and to ABLAYE CISSOKO & VOLKER GOETZE for elevating the energy to a whole different level. Big up to NICKODEMUS & the New Hope for Cambodia intiative for doing their fundraiser at AFRO FUNKE' early in the evening.

This week is a family affair with mad visual art and a listening party (with lots of giveaways) for a man who needs no introduction!
