HCMC – Afro Sunday with Ray Lugo

Sun 26 Jan 2014, from 5 pm
The Observatory

From the organizer:

Ray Lugo (Kokolo Afrobeat) DJ Set
with support from Dan Lo & friends

Forget the blues – Sunday January 26th is a day everyone can be very excited about because we’ve got Ray Lugo – frontman and founder of the world-renowned Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra – laying down a tropical, rhythm-driving mashup of a DJ set at The Observatory.

Ray Lugo was a key figure in the early New York Afrobeat scene that went on to spur the current global Afrobeat revival movement that is shaking parties and bakassis the world over. His participation and exposure to so much diverse and vibrant music has left him with a collection of sounds that are going to be very hard to resist moving to.

With support from Dan Lo and some surprise acoustic collaborations, this is a night to get down, drink some mojitos and celebrate your life in the tropics with the music that was MADE for it.

Entrance: Free
