Join KALW Public Media and the African Advocacy Network for African Night —an evening dedicated to celebrating culture, community, and the power of connection. This special event highlights the Bay Area’s vibrant African and immigrant communities, blending thought-provoking conversation with the joyful sounds of live music from West Africa and the Caribbean. Tickets are available now for this free event. A Zoom livestream ticket is also available if you can't attend in person.
The first part of the night features a dynamic conversation centered on the theme, The Power of Immigrant Community Voters. Our panelists—activists, leaders, and advocates from across the Bay Area—will share insights on how immigrant communities can shape the future through civic engagement.
After the panel, it’s time to move to the rhythms of West Africa and the Caribbean. Dance and celebrate the evening with live performances that will uplift the spirit and bring the community together.
