Diasport Vol.2 — mitokon

Music doesn't stay where it's born. Neither did we.

音は旅をする。わたしたちと同じように。

A night of diaspora sounds at RecordCity store. Friends and friends' friends, all welcome.

Vol.2: Amapiano

Amapiano — a genre born in South Africa in the 2010s, blending deep house, jazz, and lounge music with distinctive log drum bass lines. From Pretoria townships to global dancefloors, it's become one of the most exciting sounds in the world.
