Sila and the Afrofunk Experience-Afro-Exotic, Afro-Fusion, Afro-Funk, Dance Music Straight Outta Africa March 31, 2006

Kenyan expatriate Sila is a man on a mission: to have a seriously funky good time. The founder of a style he calls Afro-funk, he has also named his band the Afro-Funk Experience, which is basically what will happen to you Friday night at Elbo Room. The Experience's sets are invariably long, sweaty labors of love -- in addition to syncopated grooves, percussive breaks, and Sila's fervent multilingual vocals, there's another, more interactive element. Simply put, the more love you show Sila and company when they're onstage, the more they'll return to you. Now go tell your momma 'bout that.
(Eric K. Arnold- East Bay Express)

Joining Sila and the Afrofunk Experience will be DJ Jeremiah from Liberia spinning worldbeat dance music and the super sexy dancers - the Afrofunk Sisters

This is an event not to be missed! BRING YOUR DANCING SHOES!
