Gumbo massive! This winter was starting to feel like it would never end but we’re happy to be cooking again and serving up three courses of sonic Afro-goodness for summer ‘23. First up:
We’re kicking off the series at Revival. Our guest DJ is Houston’s own Tay Powers whose viral Amapiano R&B remixes has the internets in a chokehold. She will be joined by Gumbo resident Revy B , Blackeys and Sudaneeya for a simmering hot Afro throw down on the main floor of Revival.
Arrive early to catch a new DJ showcase that we’re serving up in the Stone Lounge basement of Revival called Taste. It’s an expanded palette of the Gumbo mix for curious music connoisseurs of good taste. Come to Shazam new sounds or dive deeper into sub genres.
About Gumbo
Founded by Wan (@waninspades) and Chi (of @Supafrik), Gumbo is a reflection of their multicultural roots in West Africa and the West Indies. It is an art-infused dance party celebrating African and Caribbean culture through music, dance, video projections, photography and space design. 2022 marks 7 years since Gumbo was founded in Toronto during Caribana. Gumbo has since gone on the road connecting the African diaspora from Montreal to New Orleans to Brooklyn where they collaborated with Afropunk. Musically centered in Afrobeats, their musical palette also draws from everything from Soca to Dancehall/Reggae and from Amapiano to Afrohouse and New Orleans Bounce. Pulling from guest DJs like Boddhi Satva, Anais B, NaijaBoi (Mr.Eazi) and Nana Kwabena (Jidenna) they bring the raw energy and creativity of carnival culture into the Gumbo discotek connecting the Afro-diaspora through music.
