One more post from my time in Africa again. This set is back in the coastal town of Kilifi, Kenya— getting in some more music at the @beneaththebaobabs festival (a highlight getting to vibe with dj favorites @kkaybie @tashlc & @minamusicuk after seeing them all @nyegenyegefest in Uganda before that) Then for some more Indian Ocean tranquility and finally to the big city of Nairobi to check the vibes 🔊🌊🏝️♨️🏙️ #kilifi #nairobi #kenya #eastafrica #africa #indianocean #africanmusic #africandance #africanculutre #rave #soundsystem #reggaemusic #gregoryisaacs #beneaththebaobabs #coastalvibes #nyegenyege #equidistantrecordings #morelove #unity #keepgoing

Beautiful moments & vibes in Tanzania!! First cuttin’ loose in the bustling city of Dar Es Salaam, meeting some local artists & hangin’ with Singeli producer extraordinaire @dj_travella_mr_mixondo & friends. Then to the gorgeous island of Zanzibar for some deep chillin’ & exploration. So nice. So grateful. 🙏🔊🌞🌊🌴 #tanzania #daressalaam #zanzibar #eastafrica #indianocean #africa #singeli #africanculture #africanart #africanmusic #pma #unity
