Akoya Afrobeat Ensemble, New York's own scintillating and pioneering Afrobeat scenesters celebrate the release of their second album, P.D.P. (President Dey Pass), with a release party and live concert at S.O.B.'s. Behind the turntables, will be Afrobeat crate digger, Rich Medina. Active on the New York music scene since 2002, Akoya's sound has been ruling dancefloors at home and abroad, fueled by all-consuming percussive grooves and a hard-hitting massive horn section that would make the late great Fela Kuti proud. Rich Medina has been stirring up dancefloors himself, for quite some time, with his weekly Wednesday jam at APT and his legendary Jump n' Funk party at S.O.B.'s.
