Sounds of the Motherland Independence Celebration
The power of food and music is unmatched and the Sounds of the Motherland Independence Party is a unique experience that enables our efforts to showcase the beauty of our diaspora beyond any single audience. We couple the celebration with “Small Chòps” highlighting West African food ways, along with sounds of the African diaspora – Afrobeats, Amapiano, Hip Hop, R&B, Dancehall and Soul, to deliver our mission on a deeper level.
