Okayafrica and our friends over at Everyday People teamed up again with this year's July 4th edition of EVERYDAY AFRIQUE at Brooklyn's Output.
The rooftop and club overflowed with dancing feet and good vibes, despite the rain that preempted the beautiful fireworks that illuminated the sky and the East River (we kept the party going anyway!).
If you noticed sprinkles of face and body paint designs throughout the crowd, that was much thanks to Laolu Senbanjo and his beautiful Sacred Art of the Ori. The tunes—from South African house, afrobeats and azonto, to soca and dancehall—were brought to you by DJs mOma, Rich Knight, Kashaka and Underdog.
South Africa came through and rolled deep to support their own, Mr. Super Mega, AKA. His brief, but lit set brought the house down where the Jozi native performed the likes of "All Eyes on Me,""Run Jozi (Godly)" and "Congratulate."
But enough talking, it's time for you to see what went down on this epic day below, brought to you by Leon Williams, Rim G. for 77xpressionsimagery, Johnette Reed and Ginny Suss:
