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. 

‍

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, supporting acts such as Francis Mercier, AMÈMÈ, Keys N Krates, Joezi and Awen; at events such as Pride Toronto and Lumaterra; and at numerous venues, including Ace Hotel Toronto, Drake Hotel, Velvet Underground, CODA, Soluna, and Sub Division.
