INSTITUT 017 | concert | ADEWOLF (NG)

Lagos and Vancouver. Afrobeats, hip-hop, R&B, and soul. Stories of migration, memory, and belonging through the language of rhythm.

Vol 17: Adewolf brings his self-described Afrohop underground, blending Nigerian musical traditions with contemporary hip-hop and soul.

This is the second half of VOLUME 17 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave — around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...

Come early for After the Front: New Short Plays About Veterans at 5PM and Legend of Princess Olha at 7PM. Stick around — Johnny Westcoast closes the night on vintage vinyl at 11PM. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.
