I was asked to put together an afrobeat-inspired playlist for the closing party (11/22/19) of the ALTAR exhibition at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery,  UW. Check out the playlist below and if you see this in time I encourage you to visit the show as well - some captivating, thought-provoking work! I also provided wine from the sustainably-farmed Indaba Wines in S. Africa via my day job at GVWM.

Africa, here we come!
