The Observatory is very excited to announce its first collaboration with SAN ART for this unique event, which will feature a bonanza of Africa sounds brought to the dance floor by one of the highest specialists in the field - NTONE EDJABE.
Invited for a residency at San Art, Ntone Edjabe is the founder and editor of the world-renowned Chimurenga magazine, and is also a fantastic DJ that specializes in African music in all of its vastly divergent inflections - from traditional percussion-focused sound to home-grown house.
He has co-hosted the Soul Makossa programme on Bush Radio in South Africa, and is considered a definitive authority on African culture and politics. The sounds he has in his bag cover multiple regions of the vast African soundscape, and you can expect this night to take you on an audio safari through past & present, urban & rural, traditional & avant-garde music from across the continent.
