Create to Liberate - 11/05

Tonight see Jeremy Ellis live at Afro Funke:


AFRO FUNKE’ | TH 11.5 | JEREMY ELLIS live + DJ SMILES DAVIS!

DJ / Producer NATURAL SELF brought some great UK vibes to light up another AFRO FUNKE' night last Thursday. Kora maestro PRINCE DIABATE's set was simply beautiful. Once again the almight TODD SIMON blessed the night w/ his Flugelhorn, blowing over Reggae, Funk, Balkan and Cumbia beats by JEREMY SOLE. As we celebrate diversity through music the night would not have been complete without the hip, afro-inspired art installations of ALY KOUROUMA (aka TIMBUKTU).

This week we bring DETROIT back in the house with a live performance by one of its funkiest sons plus the AFRO FUNKE' debut of a beautiful new DJ talent. Plus we will be doing live ticket giveways for Baraka Som Sistema & Cafe Tacuba in LA!

DJ SMILES DAVIS
Although DJ Smiles Davis has only been DJing for a few short years she has a knack for mixing and an ear for music that can’t be denied. Starting out as a professional dancer having nurtured her talent as a performer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, she also worked with Lauryn Hill as a movement coach and back up dancer for Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliot. She soon discovered her talents on the wheels of steel and began acquiring early fans for her impeccable music sense. People always told her that she had great song selection. The last few months she has been developing her skills and she can proudly say “I’ve graduated.” DJ Smiles Davis is ready to take her personality and talents to the next level.
