Macondo Sessions: Afrobeats meets Afrocaribbean

Macondo Sessions:

Afrobeats meets Afrocaribbean

Two continents. One dancefloor.

This is the story of intercontinental travel — of African ancestors landing on Caribbean shores, meeting indigenous peoples, blending languages and ceremonies, and building something the world had never heard before. Afrobeats kept the pulse alive in Lagos. Cumbia carried it through the mangroves of the Colombian coast. Mapalé set bodies on fire in Cartagena. Mambo crossed the sea again. Amapiano opened a new chapter in Johannesburg.

On July 17th, two DJs trace those threads back to their source — and weave them into something new.

DJ Smol — bringing the Lagos heat. Afrobeats, Amapiano, the rhythm of a continent that never stopped dancing.

Macondo Brown — from the Colombian Caribbean. Cumbia, Mapalé, Mambo — the sound of Africa reborn in the Americas.

This is not a concert. This is a reunion.
