Friday night, DJ Ol Mac Terry and DJ Sami Flinch will be happy to have you all on their side swinging to the likes of Diana Summer and 2Pac. Entrance is just 1000 bob and we kick off at 9 pm!

Saturday, we’re having the legendary DJ K1 take us into a whole evening of musical familiarity. If you grew up in the 90s but have a 70’s soul, then this night is for you too!! Free entrance and yes, we kick off at 9pm as well.

As for Sunday, 12 pm-6 pm, we got an open stage and the Westlands Organic Market bringing you pizza ingredients as well as their artisan and organic products.

About
Born Latanya Hinton and raised in New Haven (USA), Akua Naru’s journey to internationally acclaimed hip hop artist has led her from the city’s Newhallville section to Cologne, Germany where she currently resides and creates music. Along this female wordsmith’s journey, there have been many stops – Philadelphia, China, and Ghana, among others – all of which informed the wisdom and perspective which is evident in her music. The next step on this journey takes here to sub-Saharan Africa where she will perform in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Ruanda, Uganda and Kenya.

The Goethe-Institut Kenya and The Alchemist are proud to present this unique Hip Hop artist. Check out her exemplary live skills here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9tgfx68rac
