In the vast and evolving terrain of African music, Afrobeats has emerged as the heavyweight champion and firmly entrenched itself in the hearts of music enthusiasts globally.

Celebrate Kwanzaa and the New Year, with everything from fireworks and ice skating on the waterfront to jazz and Kwanzaa festivities.
