About Us
Here, music is not just sound — it is a living spirit, a force that connects us across generations, across oceans, and across cultures. The rhythms of the drum, the vibrations of the voice, and the pulse of the dance remind us of who we are and where we come from. Rediscovering the joy that lives in community, the power that rises when we move as one, and the healing that comes from gathering in love, rhythm, and celebration.
Here’s why it matters:
The festival celebrates a seamless blend of Afro beats, Amapiano, soulful rhythms, and classic house grooves. This convergence isn’t just eclectic—it’s innovative. Artists like DJ Sres hype up Afro‑House sessions that deepen musical exploration and expand the sounds beloved by house aficionados.
Sankofa Soul, from the Akan concept “go back and fetch it,” brings the Afro‑House community together not only for dance but for reflection. Past editions—like the Ghana journey in 2025—linked house music gatherings with ancestral remembrance and cultural reconnection
Frequent editions—from Brooklyn to Curaçao and Ghana—create an international network where DJs, dancers, producers, and passionate fans connect. The Afro Soul Fest in Brooklyn (June 8, 2025) offered a rooftop Afro‑House house party suitable for “great energy and excellent vibes”
Featuring resident selectors like DJ Sres along with guest talent from The U.S., Argentina, Africa, and across the diaspora. The fest spotlights unique DJs and sounds often overlooked in mainstream house scenes.
Organizers describe it as “a calling” to unite in love, compassion, and musical harmony. Far beyond a dance floor, it fosters shared human connection.
Afro Soul Fest by Sankofa Soul is essential to house music culture because it:
- Innovates by blending Afro‑Soul and house in fresh ways
- Honors African roots and diaspora identity
- Cultivates a vibrant, supportive global community
- Elevates emerging DJ talent across continents
- Embodies unity, love, and healing through music
