“DRINK WELL, DO GOOD TOUR” featuring JUJUBA and CHICAGO AFROBEAT PROJECT @ 9:00pm
The first thing you should know about this show is that it’s going to be a phenomenal evening of Afrobeat and juju— with the requisite blaring horns, funky bass, chunky guitars, raging percussion and sweaty dance floor. The second thing you should know is the cause: The International Society of Africans in Wine (ISAW) is an Atlanta based non-profit with the mission of building sustainable communities through viticulture. The goals of this 14 city tour are to both raise awareness of African wines and raise money to build a viticulture training center on the M’hudi estate in Stellenbosch, S. Africa. Good cause, good times! Don’t miss it. $10.
