Groove Obscura presents: Pitch Black Album Listening

Announcing the November 2026 album for @groove___obscura's pitch black album listening series: Tony Allen and Afrika 70 - Progress

The pitch black listening session will take place on Monday, November 16th at the @silenceplease Listening Space in downtown Manhattan.

We are joined by a legendary guest, Nigerian designer and artist Lemi Ghariokwu, for a virtual talk prior to the album. Lemi illustrated and designed the cover of the album we are listening to, along with 26 of Fela Kuti’s covers and thousands more. We’ll dig into the Nigerian pop scene in the 70s and 80s and his life in cover art.

Please RSVP on RA. Walk-ins welcome before 8:15.
