Hotel Erotica… a night at Pangea’s AfroSocial..
Afrosensuality was the key in this AfroSocial on ArtMonday at the Apache Cafe. Featuring earthSistas SimoneMonet and LYRIC TheNudist and earthBrothas KING, it was an evening spent celebrating unbound intimacy and they were the MUSES for inspiration. Brother ANON The Griot is joined by earthSista PrinCess YEME were the hosts and DJ BLUUE moved you with his mix. Shot by Mr. R

Violet… red by the window interlude

A night of FELA at Apache Cafe
