Rising from the ashes of a war-torn country, the musicians of Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars have overcome great obstacles to bring their inspiring music to fans across the globe. Steeped in hope, faith, and joy, their uplifting messages are further fueled by their warm, up-tempo Afropop beats, which pull from their West African musical heritage as well as reggae. This evening’s positive vibes will start flowing withOkayafrica Electrafrique featuring Chief Boima and DJ Underdog on the turntables. And, if you need yet another reason to shake what your mama gave ya, we will have a dance lesson at the opening of the party by Iris Wilson (FELA!) who is an instructor at Cumbé: Center for African and Diaspora Dance.
