Beats without Borders brings the Black Atlantic music experience to Bossa Nova for its debut happy hour at the venue, excited to invite Baltimore’s Afr0delic (@afr0delic) to join resident Kweku (@kweku.nyc) the night. Afr0delic specializes in liberating, afro-diasporic riddim. They are a Baltimore-based, Jamaican-raised global DJ and producer who makes cultures kiss on the dancefloor. Her sound can travel from Bmore & Jersey club, to afrohouse, soca, dancehall, rnb, reggae, amapiano, afrobeats, NOLA bounce, bouyon, salsa, soul, techno, dembow, funk, disco, gqom, hip hop, merengue, jungle, jazz, kompa, and more. They are very passionate about authentic sonic soul connection, creating an experience that is ancestrally empowering, heart-felt, and freeing. In just 4 years, Afr0delic has rocked venues all over the East Coast and beyond. The Sound Sourceress is currently the resident DJ of @Bmoreblackmall, a @thebaltimorescene live radio show on WEAA 88.9FM, Afr0-Delicacies Radio on Half Moon BK, and the @resurrectionsoullibation Open Mic. Most recently, DJ Afr0delic was honored to be a headlining DJ at Artscape 2025, the largest free outdoors arts festival in the US, as well as play overseas in popular beach clubs from the Dominican Republic all the way to India. Kweku is a Ghanaian DJ born and raised in Queens, New York with a flair for blending punchy club kicks with percussive Afro-diasporic sounds. He weaves genres like afrohouse, amapiano, batida, Brazilian funk, club, gqom, and more into lively mixes of relentless drums that have moved dance floors in his two homes of NYC and Accra. In 2025 he founded Beats without Borders to map the connective threads of Black sound and Black life wherever the people may be. Join us at Bossa Nova as Afr0delic and Kweku take you on a sonic journey through the diaspora. Flyer by @wahala.wav
