The Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) invites guests to switch it up this Friday night as OMCA welcomes the innovative sounds of The Dogon Lights ft. Mamadou Sidibe to their Garden Stage. Described as "West Africa meets West Oakland," this crew makes seriously danceable music with a mix of African vocals and instruments paired with Hip Hop and funk. Even further perspective is being offered up with an immersive genre-defying sonic experience created and performed by Sami Freeman. Using a blend of deep bass, synth, and organic instrumentation, Freeman's music moves the audience through a shifting cinematic soundscape. DJ Sizzle is sure to get you to shift bodies and reveal new angles on the dance flow with an irresistible mix of Cumbia, Reggaeton, Salsa, Banda, Merengue, Hip Hop, RNB, Top 40's, and more!
Limited $10 flat rate parking for Friday Nights is available in the OMCA Garage until 10 pm. More about getting to the museum:
