No doubt about it, Accra is fast becoming the latest scene to catch the pulse of new African music. AFRO-DIVAS NIGHT OUT is no exception. This all women’s showcase – produced by J’Abot Entertainment – is now a bi-weekly fix to help fans shake off the mid-week work woes. More than 100 people crowded into the silhouetted corners of Taverna Tropicana to hear the ladies belt out their tunes to the cold grooves of The Phunky Phew band. Drinks on tap. Good vibes emerging. Radical jams live and in the flesh.
Meet the lovely ladies of AFRO DIVAS NIGHT OUT:
AKUA TAYLOR (proud mother and wife to Blitz the Ambassador) is a motivational soul chanteuse based in Brooklyn. Akua is a woman of many trades – add actress, poet, writer, and inspirational speaker to the list of things done well.
AZIZAA is a psychedelic Afro-reggae princess hailing from Dirty Jerz. Her accessory game is tough and her laugh is equally as sharp. Catch Azizaa’s live show at IND!E FUSE this December 17th at Alliance Francaise.
JOJO ABOT is a throwback soul singer with mighty chords and compelling arrangements. In several short months, Jojo has taken Accra by the collar and is showing how real divas get it done! Jojo will also perform at IND!E FUSE this December with one of our favorite guitarists, Kyekyeku.
When is this taking place?
AFRO DIVAS NIGHT OUT took place at Taverna Tropicana about three weeks ago. Jojo Abot had a second installment featuring Oga Chux and special guest Efya last Wed. night. Jojo Abot and her sister Azizaa will perform live at IND!E FUSE- with a host of other great young indie artists – on Saturday, Dec. 17th at Alliance Francaise.
