Get Familiar: The Okayafrica Showcase Undercard


You already know about our Okayafrica Presents: The Very Bestshow going down August 13 in at Gramercy Theatre. We'll assume you know who The Very Best are (if not, you really should). But we wanted to get you familiar with some of the other names on the roster. Think of it as a quick preview of what's in store. Below, stream tracks and videos from UK-based Nigerian/Kenyan newcomer Seye, Sudanese multi-instrumentalist and former Yeasayer/Of Montreal/Caribou member Sinkane, and Sierra Leone's best Bajah + The Dry Eye Crew. TICKETS for the show are available now!
