New Africa Live is a movement to carve out a cultural space of belonging for the New African experience by producing art events that entertain, educate and create awareness on the value of African culture in a globalized world. These events strive to challenge homogenized notion of African cultural expression and celebrate New African artist who work in a multitude of languages, rhythms, media and genres. Ultimately, the movement hopes to forge a thriving arts community, which embraces a cosmopolitan spirit, urban hybridization and most importantly pride in the rich heritage of their homelands.

A few updates:
Special Guests performers BLK JKS (Black Jacks) have been added to the show at no extra charge! They are featured on the cover of this month’s FADER Magazine which focuses on Africa. The band was flown in from South Africa by Fader in their first US tour. You don’t want to miss this!
The bartenders at Stitch will be serving up a special drink at the post show Soiree. Please join us as we sip on some of that “New Africa Live”.
