About Afrobeats Oakland

Afrobeats Oakland was co-founded by music specialist/ creative director, Juan G, and production director, Asaba Kugonza, in 2019. They are longtime Oakland residents with unique first-generation immigrant backgrounds and have a strong vision rooted in both the recognition of Oakland’s rich diverse cultural history as well as a desire to move the conversation around arts and music.

Afrobeats Oakland is actively reimagining the African + African-American identity within the US. They are consciously reshaping mainstream thought around African Pop music, fashion, and culture and strive to create intercultural dialogue surrounding the culture and how they see themselves in it.
