Organikka Total Refreshment Centre London Takeover
By Kit Macdonald
A very exciting development here as Barcelona's ever-innovative Organikka teams up with Total Refreshment Centre, the undisputed jewel in the crown of East London's DIY music scene, for "a fusion of sound, soul and magic". Bold rhythms, transcontinental vibrations and pure creativity are promised at a community-driven night where genres will be blurred by like minds from two great cities.
The lineup features two live artists and two DJs. MOMO and Kumar Sublevao-Beat, also known as Afrosideral, are the two live artists. MOMO is a Brazilian multi-instrumentalist whose music has been profoundly influenced by a life lived in Brazil, Angola, the US, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom. Afrosideral is a Cuban rapper and music producer and multi-instrumentalist whose music touches on hip hop, jazz, world music and electronica while keeping an Afro-Cuban music base at all times.
DJ sets are from Lex Blondin, Worldwide FM DJ and cofounder of Total Refreshment Centre, and Organikka founder Jaayology.
