Ziongate x RISE
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 13TH AT PARALLEL
23:59-06:00
At Ziongate, the community comes together to celebrate electronic music from the motherland and its diaspora. From Afrotech to Gqom to Batida, infectious riddims are channeled to liberate our guests from the stresses of daily life, inviting them to be fully present; with the music and with each other.
This edition marks a cross-cultural exchange with RISE, a Berlin-based organization, club night, and label that has been championing Afrohouse in Germany for over a decade.
