Performance

Jungle Galactica

1 upcoming performance in New York

“Jungle Galactica” lands at Somewhere Nowhere NYC as a birthday-marked night centered on South African DJ and producer Shimza (Kholofelo Ashley Raphala), who started making tracks in Tembisa as a teenager and formalized his output with a 2015 debut album on his Soulistic Music imprint. Nathan Leong joins the bill, framing the set as a shared room rather than a solo showcase. In New York, where Afro-house has moved from niche parties into larger venues, the event reads as another step in that cultural migration. The theme suggests futurism, but the story is still about craft and community.
