The illustrious Afrique Like Me Collective consists of a trifecta of music-minded savants seeking and releasing inner friques across the city. What began in 2019 as an intimate after-hours west-end party — led by Razaq El Toro, Martinses and Sonic Griot — celebrating art and electronic, dance and alternative music across Africa and the diaspora has grown into an underground custom popping up in unconventional spaces.
