The Triple Door is proud to launch Seattle's newest weekly featuring the sounds of Africa and beyond. This unique event features 2 sets of live music and often times interludes and a closing set by local selectas.
The goal of this weekly is to foster a sense of community in the World music scene here in Seattle and to offer a weekly gathering place for those involved in or fans of World music in the region. We believe that Seattle has a thriving World community and are excited to bring the Musicquarium into the fold. The Triple Door itself has long-since been an avid supporter of African music, culminating in King Sunny (& his African Beats) joining with KEXP last June to deliver the very first live-radio broadcast from our stage, a smashing success.
Often AFROCENTRIC will partner up with appropriate Triple Door main stage acts to offer a pre and post lounge component to the evening. The first such event took place on Tuesday, March 16th with Bassekou Kouyate in conjunction with his, and the very first, release on Sub Pop’s new imprint “Next Ambiance,” a world-focused label that takes its name as a transmutation of Jon Kertzer’s pioneering show on KEXP, “Best Ambiance.”
