Event information

Cry Parrot and Vitamins team up to present a special summer shindig featuring the return of Awesome Tapes from Africa.

Since 2006, Brian Shimkovitz's Awesome Tapes From Africa blog has been shedding light on obscure and wonderful sounds from across the continent. As a DJ he brings the blog to life with sets that blend folkloric pop, left-field dancefloor gems and hip-hop bangers he's collected on African marketplace finds. Traveling from club to festival to DIY space, Awesome Tapes From Africa DJ sets celebrate the music and musicians whose cassettes Shimkovitz has collected over the years.

Further acts will be announced soon and we're going all out to make the CCA's Saramago cafe looking and sounding on point for the occasion. Join us.
