I don't think I have the words to fully explain how amazing the first edition of dyaṣphönic.dance was earlier this month! You'd think after organizing events for years I'd be less anxious, but no. It was my first solo event and my nerves were all over the place, but all was MORE than well! I really want to thank our DJs Bonita Appleblunt and Cobra B, our event sponsor Bayab Gin (those drinks were amazing and y'all knew it by the way you bought them OUT!), and lastly all of you who came and enjoyed the sounds of Dyaspara! You made my birthday celebration so special! We energized the Agave Den this go round, but in May we'll be lighting up the larger nightclub space so you'll have even more room to dance! If you missed the first one, don't fret: we're partying again Saturday, May 3! Make sure you reserve your free RSVP ticket in advance and bring a friend! We'll have Bayab Gin specials again (#MakeitAfrican) and DJs Zuni and Phreaky Bionick providing sounds alongside myself! I hope you're ready for a great time! I hope you enjoyed this newsletter.

If your Threads feed looks anything like mine, you are hurriedly scrolling through several verbal boxing matches between mostly Nigerian artists & Afrobeats lovers and South African artists & Amapiano lovers. Before I jump into this topic, I encourage you to read my newsletters from two years ago, where I pondered what the future of Afrobeats and Amapiano would sound like, and how I don't love "afropiano". The "Best African Performance" category at The Grammys was announced in 2023, with...
