Welcome to Nostalgia: Celebrating Influenced African Black Artists

AFROCENTRIC In the heart of Cape Town this September, Nostalgia, an artist-led organization championing emerging talent, proudly presents AFROCENTRIC—a transformative cultural experience designed to unite African black cultured artists, elevate authentic expression, and rewrite the narrative for creatives in South Africa’s music industry.AFROCENTRIC is not just a concert; it is a movement, a soulful gathering of voices and visions aimed at breaking long- standing barriers that have held back young African artists for too long.

THE EXPERIENCEAFROCENTRIC offers an immersive journey through African artistry, bringing together music, storytelling, and provoke a art community dialogue. More than a concert, AFROCENTRIC incorporates panel discussions, pop-up activations, and community storytelling, turning each performance into a narrative of identity, resilience, and unity.

THE MISSIONAFROCENTRIC was born out of a creative crisis—a recognition that artists in Cape Town often face underpayment, undervaluation, and systemic barriers that hinder their careers. Inspired by voices such as Let’s Get Local and Quiet Life by Danilo, who have openly spoken about the lack of a sustainable music industry in Cape Town, AFROCENTRIC seeks to be the change.We believe African art deserves more—more respect, more support, and more platforms. AFROCENTRIC embodies a collective uprising where artists support artists, communities invest in culture, and industry gatekeeping is challenged.
