Last Thursday at Afro Funke' was one of those super down home experiences. Our special guest had to pull out due to work contraints so our resident DJs JEREMY SOLE & GLENN RED do what they do best - ROCK THE PARTY!! We also had a lovely show by Kente Fashions of Ghana with some help from our very own Tatiana and some wonderful friends. IWEF helps out girl child education in Ghana so please give them your support.
This Thursday we have a super FUNKY band from San Francisco coming through for their first time to Zanzibar so please come out in your numbers!!!

AFRO FUNKE' LIVE PRESENTS
BLACK MAHAL
(SF)
Part P-Funk, part Punjabi-Funk, BlackMahal is a San Francisco-based live music experience complete with drums, DJs, horns, hip-hop MCs, and the godfather of Punjabi-American music – Ustad Lal Singh Bhatti. BlackMahal is steeped in Old California, a Punjabi-American experience that started in the 1890s when the first Punjabi-Americans settled in the Great West and forged a new identity combining elements of Mexican and African-American influence.
BlackMahal also represents the new California feel: hippy hybrid hip-hop and hysterical hi-jinks. BlackMahal has rocked major concerts across North America including the 2010 Vancouver Olympics with features inRolling Stone, Wired, The San Francisco Chronicle, and rotation on the BBC Radio 1.
