Soukous Cafe

Soukous Café is a wonderful hangout with African music 24/7, a dance floor, club house, sea, sun and starlight. Everything is free, and they never close! Regular weekly events include Dance Africa with DJ HarleyMC Homewood, every Friday 2-4 pm SLT, and African Roots Heartbeat with DJ Yannis Martynov, every Sunday 10 am -12 noon SLT. The music stream here is energetic and uplifting, so turn it up while you work on your taxes, your other finances, your blogs or your photo albums in your internet browser! New features are being added to the new location, but in the meantime, there is plenty of space for dancing and hanging out on the verandah of the open-air clubhouse. Learn about the many different styles of music coming from the continent; owner Caramba Vella provides direct links to some introductory information available on wikipedia, so while you listen to popular music genres such as Afrobeat, mbalax, highlife and other styles, and modern adaptations of the ancient instrument, the kora, you can also learn more about some of the influential artists performing and touring in Africa and Europe. Vella also invites visitors to share any other relevant and interesting websites about African music. Hopefully, this cafe will be hosting some live performances soon!
