Afropop Meet Up: Jupiter and Okwess, July 19

<p>We love seeing your beautiful faces almost as much as we love seeing the best live music in the world, and so we figured, why not do both?&nbsp;</p> <p>On Thurs., July 19, join us <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/eyJTidpEtbH2" target="_blank">at Metrotech Commons in downtown Brooklyn</a>, where we'll be watching one of our favorite bands out of Congo: Jupiter and Okwess.&nbsp;Grab your lunch from local vendors and&nbsp;<strong>meet up with fellow Afropoppers around&nbsp;11:30 a.m.</strong>&nbsp;up front on the grass on the right side of the stage. Look for folks wearing&nbsp;<em>Afropop Worldwide</em> T-shirts.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jupiter and Okwess blew everyone away at globalFEST, playing a rocking and rollicking alchemy of local Congolese styles mixed with modern r&b, rock 'n' roll and funk. It's worth taking a long lunch (or early afternoon) to check out.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you can make it, show up at 11:30 and say hi to the Afropop team and fans. <strong>Show is at&nbsp;noon</strong>.&nbsp;<a href="https://afropop.test.ejaedesign.com/events/jupiter-okwess" target="_blank">More info here</a>.</p> <p>Email questions to&nbsp;<strong>info@afropop.org.</strong></p> <p>Check out this write-up on <a href="https://nyti.ms/2KATOPj" target="_blank">Jupiter and Okwess in the <em>N.Y. Times</em></a>.</p>
