Africa’s rich cultural heritage has produced some of the most flavorful food, rhythmic music, and vibrant art in existence. The continent’s influence on other cultures has been profound; there are very few corners of the world which have not been touched in some way by Africa.

If you’ve dreamed about Africa but haven’t yet visited the motherland, you are invited to sample a spectrum of the best the Diaspora has to offer at “Africa Rising,” a new event combining music, art, and fashion – all with an African theme.

Conceived by Jeremiah Kpoh, President of Maisha Productions, Africa Rising offers music, and art enthusiasts more than just a taste of Africa, presenting a unique cultural experience featuring Dj Jimmy Love (Nonstop Bhangra) , Dj Tom Thump plus DJs Jeremiah (Liberia) spinning Afrobeat, Soukous, and other Diasporan musical goodies. Tickets are only $10.

“There are only a few places in the Bay Area where you can really experience the African Diaspora,” Kpoh explains. “I wanted to create an event which would be not just a dance party, but a full-on experience celebrating the diverse culture of the Motherland,” he adds. Being conscious of these difficult economic times, he says, “I wanted to keep it affordable. The goal is to make the culture of the African Diaspora accessible to people living in the Bay Area.”

SF Weekly reviewed our upcoming event:

“5. Jonas Reinhardt at Project One (Saturday)

It’s fitting that the last couple times I’ve seen local boys Jonas Reinhardt’s name on a flier, it’s been for a show at an art gallery. The band approaches its synth-heavy post rock with an art bent, sounding at times like a live sci-fi soundtrack. On Saturday they play at the newish Project One, which also hosts Portland’s experimental electronic trio Explode Into Colors and tastemaking DJ Tristes Tropiques. Show starts at 9 p.m. and costs $7.”

It’s Carnaval time in Brazil so we decided to create our own favela here in San Francisco and try to warm things up a bit!

Join us for a night of Brazilian music from the past and the present, from the lounges and from the hills, from the north and from the south…

The rule is dance, dance, dance so dress comfortably because things just might end in a BIG Carnaval celebration.

And if you don’t know how to samba, here’s your chance!

Hope to see you all there!

Curated by Joseph Latimore

Project One
opening Wed Feb 25th 7pm
closing Sat March 14th 8pm

Francis Simeni is a Nigerian-born, New York City based fine artist. His work portrays the beauty of Black culture and reflects a poetic optimism. Textured, rich and familiar – Francis’ subjects evoke a quiet yet deep introspection.

Remy Amezcua brings another contribution to his continuing series ” A Group Show of Selves”. And, this chapter in the series revolves around a collection of poems entitled “Taking My History Too Seriously” which combines text written in an original font, intertwined with photographic images, sculture, video and drawings.

Remy offers “it’s part cabinet of curiosity, part scrapbook explosion – the installation will challenge the viewer to question their place in Today’s world”.
