“Friday Night” is a story about four childhood friends. Pape, Koby, Andre and Rashid now married, have made outing every Friday night a tradition in their lives even though their wives try to talk them out of it. What they do at these outings is ‘unimaginable’. Koby has a grudge he must settle with Pape, so he honors a deal from a notorious pimp ‘Jake the Shadow’ to get one of his whores, Missy, in trouble just to get back at Pape. Missy on the other hand wants to buy her freedom like her friend Brenda, to pursue her career, but Jake has a plan in motion. It was a perfect hookup but on the wrong night. Friday nights can be freaky.

Calabash Explosion: blending our stories- is an event that explores the concept of meshing different flavors of African artistic expression in one spot. "Calabash Explosion:blending our stories" is proud to showcase IKWUNGA - The 1st Afrobeat Poet performing songs from his stunning debut album. Consistent with the music of Fela Kuti, the legendary originator of Afrobeat, Ikwunga stays true to the Afrobeat philosphy: raising pan African consciousness while entertaining the audience. Performing with The Afromotive - a thundering 10-piece Afrobeat ensemble from Asheville, NC, this performance is sure to rock the house. AFROBEAT NO GO DIE OH!!
In the true spirit of of what this event represents, we also showcase Queen Milele (writer/producer & arranger of her own sounds) -whose sultry voice carries us through a fusion of Jazz/Neosoul.
"The Arkivz" a conscious Hip/Hop collective featuring Q, Marlon and Tyrone perfom original lyrics/music from their forthcoming album :Habaakkuk (Write the vision)
