Sexy Afrobeats🍑 Sensual R&B💦 Tribal Afro-Brazilian🌴 Seductive Amapiano🇿🇦 Soulful Afro-House💋 Baile-Funk and other Riddims from the African diaspora.

I played this set at the "AFRICAN PARTY" that i organize in Koh PhaNgan, Thailand.

I've been working for a whole month on creating a new line of parties on Koh PhaNgan, Thailand.

There was so much boring admin work, challenges, paid ads that didn't function, driving around, errands, computer and mobile phone work, and other challenging stuff.

During the first 2 parties we had very few people. 

Can you imagine working for a whole week just to have 15 people at the event for a few minutes and the rest of the evening is nearly empty?

After every event, I was disappointed, confused, frustrated, sad, triggered, and exhausted.

I nearly quit every week!

...But i kept going on, fueled by my love of this art, and my mission to bring this music, culture and different vibe to Koh Phangan.

And last Saturday, finally, it all came together 🔥🔥🔥 Tons of gorgeous people came and nearly filled up the beautiful "Love Space" venue, and many stayed the whole evening until we finally had to close at half past midnight.  

🎧
Inspired by the amazing DJs i've learned from, I played a very dynamic set, cutting directly to the best parts of songs and changing songs every two minutes or even faster. 
🔊
This kind of DJing is challenging, it's stressful, it demands me to be working non-stop, but playing the best parts is my gift to the audience, and it makes me improve professionally and artistically. 

I usually prepare most of the sequence for my Ecstatic Dance events, but at this African Party it was all improvised in the moment - I played my favorite songs and responded to the audience, making sure I include a wide range of genres, styles, riddims and feelings. 

After some time, i relaxed into it and the whole evening flowed so naturally.

I was deeply inspired by Nataniel Olusanya aka S!rene From the Netherlands - I listened to tons of his  DJ sets and included a few of his songs and a simple version of his "gal costa vs Timberlake" routine. Enjoy him at:

African Party : Afrobeats🍑 R&B💦 Amapiano🇿🇦 Brazilian🔥 Afro-House | Koh PhaNgan 3.feb.2024

Pumping pan-african dance music, played live at the African Party I organize in the tropical island of Koh PhaNgan, Thailand.

This was my 9th African Party in a row, and I hired a videographer to capture the visuals. I started playin, we had 4 cameras ready to go, and suddenly the power went out. Some people left but many stayed and we danced around some candles and a bluetooth speaker playing the set from a previous party. The vibe was cosy and friendly, like a private party at someone's living room.
 
After an hour, the power finally came back, and we had an amazing party.

Here's the video showing me DJing and beautiful people dancing:

African Party Koh PhaNgan - Afro-House, Amapiano, UKG, Dancehall - March 2024

Amapiano, Funk, Soul, Tribal, Afro-Folk, Baile-Funk, Dancehall, R&B,  and other music from the African Diaspora.


currently in Ko PhaNgan Thailand http://africanpartykpg.com

June-September in Europe.

As an Ecstatic Dance Activist and Mentor, my mission is to Deepen the dance experience, Grow and diversify the community, and support the organizers and teams.

I'm inspired by growing up in a multi-cultural family, playing classical piano for 7 years, life-long dancing and music-collecting, 20 years of traveling, and an extensive study, practice, and teaching of tantric yoga, personal development and conscious business.

I weave traditional, popular, organic and electronic music from cultures and ethnic groups around the world into dance journeys that invoke the mystic, the lover and the animal within us.
