Owambe: Continental Twist

By NJIT: African Student Association

Overview

Join NJIT AFSA in our first ever Owambe: Continental Twist. An elegant and beautiful celebration unifying African cultures.

Get ready to experience the Owambe in a groundbreaking new light!

We are thrilled to announce our very first Owambe Continental Twist, a landmark celebration that takes the legendary, joyous spirit and vibrant flair of the traditional Yoruba party and elevates it to a Pan-African stage. This isn't just a party; it's a dedicated tribute to the rich tapestry of culture, fashion, cuisine, and rhythm found across the entire African continent.


What Makes This Owambe Unique?


While rooted in the grand tradition of Nigerian celebration, this inaugural event is designed to be an immersive, cross-continental experience that honors the beauty and diversity of all African cultures

  • The Global African Groove: The dance floor will be ablaze! Our DJ will curate a dynamic soundtrack that seamlessly blends the infectious energy of Afrobeats and Amapiano with the classic sounds of Highlife, Congolese Rumba, and contemporary African genres from every region.
  • A Showcase of Continental Style: This is your chance to shine! The dress code encourages guests to celebrate the sartorial elegance of Africa. We invite you to step out in your most stunning traditional attire, whether it’s your best Aso Ebi, Kente, Ankara, or other contemporary or classic looks that represent the culture you love.
