NDEYE, The Clash

Who better to choose for our first event than, a Guinean artist with a twist. You must be puzzled by the word Clash. Ndeye has been able to blend Guinean traditional music with Hip POP... Clash has never sounded this good... you'll need to experience it for yourself....

Then from Guinea, we are off to different parts of Africa with a DJ mixing House with Kuduro (Angola), Ndombolo (DRC), Coupé Décalé (Ivory Coast), Zouk and so much more...
