How you doing Afrolicious?? Thanks for making last week off the hook! We had yet another banger of a night with incredible energy from the crowd as always. Plus a great early set my DJ MSK, and live percussion from Qique, Samba, and Baba Duru.



This week Wax Poetics and Afrolicious present: Chico Mann (NYC, Antibalas) bringing his Afro-Electro-Latin-Freestyle stew that he has concocted. He always brings it so expect another banger!!! Enjoy the free download of when Chico came through Afrolicious back in February of this year. Plus we have DJ Q Mastah (NYC/Sound Liberation Front) starting off the night with an Afro-Dub set.

Roots of Chicha 2 release at Afrolicious!! Plus Samba Guisse comes thru inna B-Day stylee



Yes yes, things are busy and really solid over here at Afrolicious headquarters. Producing some brand new joints for both Afrolicious and Pleasuremaker. These tracks will be the first original Afrolicious productions and we are very excited to say the least. Look out for an EP and full length Pleasuremaker album to drop in '11.

This Thursday night we feature our good friend and amazing musician/vocalist from Senegal Samba Guise as we celebrate his birthday the best way we know how; throwing down!!! It has been blazing hot at Afrolicious lately and we are looking forward to keeping this going!

For those who have been with us over the last year or more we have been doing promotional giveaways in association with labels and companies that we support. Last week we celebrated a new Fania Records release, big love to you guys! Wax Poetics is one of those amazing organizations that we are %100 behind at Afrolicious as they have enhanced our musical dialogue and curiosity over the years, not to mention the amazing people over there making that happen (not gonna drop names here but you know who you are!) So in association with Wax Poetics and Barbes Records we are pleased and very excited to celebrate the release of the Roots of Chicha 2 next Thursday October 14th, a night we celebrate the birthdays of Pleasuremaker (that day) and Fela Kuti (Oct. 15th)
This guarantees to be a night of Afro-beat, Chicha madness! For a taste of Chicha Libre 2 you can download a free track from Wax Poetics as well.
