Rotterdam..! The TOA series starts now. Episode I is here. Get ready for this new SEASON. 🌍
In deze tijd waarin iedereen klaagt dat de stad dood is is er eindelijk een steady indoor festival waar we in Rotterdam al jaren naar uitkijken. Eindelijk kan je viben op de muziek die je nergens in de stad hoort en komt er weer leven in de brouwerij. 🔥
Verdeeld over 2 areas in één van de meest iconische locaties van Nederland word je gecaterd van alle smaken die the culture te bieden heeft: Afrobeats, Afro Electroic, Amapiano, Reggae, Dancehall, R&B… TOA serves them all. Zo divers en rauw, maar toch sweet als onze stad is, zo zullen ook de producties zijn. Want uiteindelijk gaat het TOA om één ding: Your experience. 🏙️
TOA Episode I geeft je in de MWEZI area deep ancestral Afro electronic energy en neemt je mee op een muzikale journey door de electronische landschap van muziek gedreven door één van oudste oerkrachten: De maan. Kom en ervaar het. Het gaat je pakken. 🕺🏽💃🏽🪩
Date: March 28th
Location: Maassilo, Rotterdam
Time: 23:00 – 06:00
Minimum age: 18+ ID required

Moderne Afrikaanse dansmuziek is meer als amapiano of afrobeats. Met SAWA! willen we dansbare en muzikale pareltjes verzamelen uit heel Afrika. Van Noord tot Zuid, van Oost tot West.
> SAWA betekent in Swahili “Let’s go” of “OK” en in het Arabisch “Samen”… Iedereen SAWA? Iedereen SAWA!
> Verwacht je aan minstens driekwart moderne afro dansmuziekjes, en dan nog een paar streepjes dancehall, afro, RnB of hiphop.
> Voor deze allereerste editie in Cafe Au Lait nodigden we Dj Abena uit. Een set van haar zonder afro is zeldzaam, haar sets met voornamelijk afro hebben iets sterk en magisch!
Perfect om de spits af te bijten.
