Afrique Like Me is a Toronto-based collective comprising Razaq El Toro, Martin Ses and Sonic Griot.
The collective curates musical experiences that celebrate art, electronic dance, underground and alternative music from across Africa and the diaspora. Afrique Like Me is also a pioneer of Eko Electronic, a fusion of alternative electronic music, funk, underground elements, West African music and Afrobeats. Afrique Like Me is currently working on its highly-anticipated debut album, slated for release in 2025.
Known for its event series, which bears the same name, Afrique Like Me started with an intimate after hours party in Toronto’s west end. The party grew into an event held in unconventional spaces, and is now a mainstay on the city’s social calendar.
The collective has performed in Canada as well as internationally, sharing the stage with acts such as Francis Mercier, Kasango, Citizen Deep, AMÈMÈ, Keys N Krates, Joezi and Awen; at festivals such as Electric Island, Pride Toronto Bloom and Lumaterra; and at numerous venues, including Drake Hotel, History, The Velvet Underground, CODA, Grand Bizarre and Soluna.
