Afrodisia Open Jam

At Icehouse Minneapolis

Powderhorn, Minneapolis

Reviewers recommend ordering food well before the music starts as kitchen service can run slow during events.
Visitors praise the pork belly and burgers if you plan to eat during the evening.
Consider purchasing tickets online in advance to save on door pricing.

Obi Original

Nigerian-American Afrobeats producer blending Igbo highlife and diaspora rhythms


Obi Original, born Obiora Obikwelu, is a Nigerian‑American producer and artist who bridges Afrobeats with Igbo highlife and other African diaspora sounds. He co‑founded the Minneapolis‑based collective The Black Atlantics and is known for live instrumentation and genre‑blending tracks.

The Black Atlantics

Minneapolis Afrobeat‑funk collective mixing highlife, rock and Caribbean rhythms


The Black Atlantics are a Minneapolis‑based music collective founded in 2014, led by multi‑instrumentalist Obi Original. Their sound fuses Afrobeat, funk, rock and highlife into a self‑coined “Django” style, reflecting a trans‑Atlantic Black cultural heritage.
