Last night DJ Plainstone (@obrftokyo) and I did the third It’s Time For Africa event at the Li-Po bar in Shibuya. Plainstone had his usual insane collection of African tunes on vinyl, and a good crowd showed up. My playlist was mostly Nigerian Juju and Congolese Rumba with some Afro-Funk sneaking in at the end of the evening. Next ITFA coming this summer, many thanks to lovely Ito-san at Li-Po for hosting us!
