ABOUT:
Founded by Wan(Shaman Fam) and Chi(Supafrik), Gumbo is a reflection their multicultural roots in West Africa and the West Indies. It is an art-infused dance party celebrating African and Caribbean culture through music, dance, video projections, photography and space design. Gumbo started in Toronto but has since gone on the road from Montreal to New Orleans to Brooklyn where they collaborated with Afropunk. Musically centered in Afrobeats, their musical palette also draws from everything from Soca to Dancehall/Reggae to Baille Funk and from to Afrohouse to New Orleans Bounce. Pulling from their soulfully curated crew of dancers, visual artists and resident and guest DJs like Boddhi Satva, Anais B and Nana Kwabena they bring the raw energy and creativity of carnival culture into the Gumbo discotek. Everywhere it goes, the Gumbo is a guaranteed dancey, sweaty good thing. Through international collaborations with Everyday People (NYC) and Ancestral (Belgium), Gumbo keeps connecting the diaspora through music. #WeAreGumbo
Everybody makes the flavourful Gumbo soup in their own way and call it by their own name. The Gumbo soup as it is known in Louisiana is called Okro or draw soup in Nigeria, Callalo in Trinidad and Quimbombo in Cuba. The thought behind the GUMBO music series, debuting in Kensington Market on  a Caribana Thursday, is similarly as simple as it is complex. It's a combination of sounds that overlap, blend and clash to create a delectable music palate. It is the connection between Afrobeats and Soca that intersects with Reggae/Dancehall and overlaps with Samba, Baille funk and Afro house, with a dash of hip hop & R&B. They feed off each other and they all feed us. Imagine Black Coffee + Shabba Ranks + Machel Montano + WizKid all in the sound system and you end up with GUMBO.
This is what you get when a Supafrik & a Shaman meet. We select the DJs, they play the music and you bring the vibes. Together we make GUMBO
