DJEFF AFROZILA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Already, DJ BE had electrocuted the atmosphere with pulsating charged particles of electrons and protons dancing to diversified sounds that culminated in a show-stopping spectacle of frantic dance moves combusting from bouts of kinetic energy. There was nothing like the magic of a pre-warm-up, putting the folks in the mood, before the party\u2019s derivative. By the stroke of midnight, BE\u2019s successor wasted no time analyzing the musical elements of two Pioneer CDJs, a music\/mixing software program, and the signature Bozak for what was to be an epic Tambor.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOh my!\u201d<\/span><\/strong>
\n \u201cI can\u2019t wait!\u201d<\/span><\/strong>
\n \u201cTonight\u2019s going to be special!\u201d<\/span><\/strong>
\n Several festive spirits whispered in high anticipation in the venue\u2019s space number two, a smaller but more suitable arrangement. Although the crowd\u2019s attendance faired less than record-breaking numbers, those that came out showed up and showed out. The feverish buzz trickled into the air-conditioned atmosphere and culminated at an audio zenith that tickled attentive ears. Why all the excitement? Well, grab your passport and Afro attire because we\u2019re going on a quick journey for an educational visit to a country called Angola.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Angola sits on the West coast of Southern Africa next to the Atlantic Ocean to the West and Zambia to the East. With its Angola Mountain Range of Lela, a coastal capital city, Cracks of Tundarla, breathtaking waterfalls, sweeping hills and rugged cliffs the county\u2019s scenery is one majestic behemoth. The fertile land which provides diamonds and oil fuels its strengthening economy. The Portuguese speaking country, freed from Portugal\u2019s rule thirty-seven years ago, with a population of 19 million embraces its African heritage which can be heard in its music and seen in its dance, which brings us back to Tambor fresh off an airplane with additional baggage and an extra body.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The extra person aboard the aircraft was none-other-than Tiago Barros. Who? Djeff Afrozila. Tambor\u2019s special guest DJ. Born in Portugal to a father from Cape Verde and a mother from Angola, Djeff grew up listening to an eclectic range of musical artists from Michael Jackson, Michael Bolton, Kassav to Tabanka Jazz. At the age of fifteen, the future DJ, would fall in love with house music and be influenced by the likes of Erick Morillo, Daft Punk and Robin S. In the year 2010 he would produce his first edit, \u201cCanjika\u201d and later go on to produce tracks and remixes for global renowned deep house music artists and labels. Currently, Djeff resides in Angola\u2019s capital and largest city, Luanda. Based out of the urban hub is Kazukuta Records. Djeff, one of six DJs signed to the label with its growing roster, is en-route to becoming a burgeoning star in the world of Afro-deep house. The graphic arts and design graduate-which explains his fascination for haute couture, fashion forward promotional photographs, and avant-garde music videos-has handsome facial features that could have been ripped straight from the pages of a gentlemen\u2019s quarterly fashion magazine or at least from a campy tourist brochure. The \u201cI don\u2019t look older than nineteen years of age\u201d star sported the Kazukuta logo on a form-fitted white tee with grey graphics atop form-fitted blue denim. However, don\u2019t be deceived by the lad\u2019s 1.727 meters height, with a futbol player\u2019s frame, and a clean-cut appearance because he would soon reveal his alter ego.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
