Culture Clock: Reggae, Afrobeats & Soca at Ember Music Hall
About This Event
Three cultures take over one dance floor when Afrobean presents Culture Clock at Ember Music Hall in Richmond.
The party’s rotating format changes the soundtrack every 20 minutes, moving between reggae, Afrobeats, and soca throughout the night. Each DJ leads a different part of the rotation, creating a fast-moving Caribbean and African nightlife experience where the energy never settles into one lane.
The official Ember Music Hall listing describes Culture Clock as a Caribbean bashment night featuring “3 cultures, 1 night” and confirms a 10:00 PM start.
