Chocolate Jesus Kwanzaa Party

Overview

Kwanzaa is an invented festival, but only in the sense that Australia Day got made up at some point. It's formed from a collection of real African traditions and seasons. And although you can rustle up kids books on it, it's no Christmas alternative. This festival isn't religion, it's heritage all the way. In the tumult of the festive season, Chocolate Jesus is putting on a party that sees the heritage of gangsta in Kwanzaa and in putting it on early, Chocolate Jesus has rolled all seven days of Nguzosaba themes into one big, principled omnibus of sound.

The lineup includes the tranquil sounds of Domeyko/Gonzalez, the hypnotic Disco Club, electronic duet Piano is Drunk and Sick Python. The artist super-collage that is PING! will also make an appearance, as well as the Old Men of Moss Mountain — not the legendary hashish-eating killers, but the ethereal crooners said to have been discovered on an aging cassette in an apartment on the Pest side of Buda. If live music isn't enough for  you, Moses MacRae, White Ox DJs and Penrith Oil + Leroy Madrid will be present on the decks.
