    About This Event

    Baba Yako Kofiama brings his late-night Afrobeats-to-Amapiano sets to Mehanata Bar, favoring tight transitions and rhythmic continuity so tempo shifts carry the narrative. He appears on a bill with DJ INO for AFROBEATS & AMAPIANO: AfroWaves Party NYC, a lineup oriented toward steady dance-floor momentum rather than spectacle.

    About Afrobeats & Amapiano NYC Party

    Afrobeats & Amapiano NYC Party lands at Mehanata Bar as a DJ-driven night tracing contemporary club currents from West and Southern Africa into New York’s after-hours map. Baba Yako Kofiama and DJ INO work in electronic and DJ formats, stitching percussive log drums and Afropop swing into long, continuous blends. In NYC, these genres have moved from diaspora parties to broader rooms, and the shift says something about who sets the city’s dance vocabulary now. The programming favors flow over spectacle, which feels true to how this music travels.
