About the party
DOWNSTAIRS at Purgatory in Bushwick hosts The Miseducation of South African Genres on Friday, October 16, curated by DJ 3MoveMoney. The concept is a four-hour South African rave styled as a night at school, moving through four sounds: Amapiano, 3-Step, Gqom and Afro Tech.
What to expect
A themed rave where each genre is presented through its music, energy and culture, per the promoter. Guests are invited to come dressed for class and to bring a whistle; that is encouraged, not stated as required. My take: a fit for dancers who want to go deeper into South African club music than a single amapiano set.
