COCODY PRODUCTIONS AND AFRICA.COM HOST AFROHOP EVENT SERIES AT SMYTH HOTEL
AfroHop is back September 29 hosted by Cocody Productions and Africa.com at the Smyth Hotel. The New York-based event series brings together the best of Africa at unique venues. AfroHop integrates partnerships with charity, fashion, and media; special themes, and artist releases, performances, and hot diaspora DJ sets to expose the latest in African music. The series' launch included an album release and guest appearance by Ghana's Blitz the Ambassador (Info and press here). Cocody hosts AfroHop's September 29 event with Africa.com, one of the fastest-growing websites devoted to all things African. Africa.com has one million unique visitors and two million page views a month. Africa.com Deals offers unique opportunities to buy items related to Africa, such as flights, travel offers, sports tickets, music, food, and more.
"With AfroHop we are creating an exciting forum to connect Africa, the diaspora, and mainstream New York," said Cocody Director, Jake Bright. "The event series is a perfect fit for us, as Africa.com serves as a gateway for all things African across the globe,’ added Africa.com CEO Teresa Clarke. Partners for September 29 include global African fashion content and retail site Heritage 1960 and fellowship program Princeton in Africa. The evening will feature a special album review session - "New Music of The Brothers Kuti" - mixing tracks of Fela's sons Femi and Seun's new releases.
