Episode 40: MOONSHINE CREW

Rave to the Grave podcast with Hervé Kalongo and San Farafina of Montreal’s Moonshine Crew. The post-border interdisciplinary collective talks about their journey from throwing full-moon loft parties in 2014 to wild international events in Kinshasa, Abidjan, Dar Es Salaam, Lisbon, Paris and beyond. We discuss the collective’s ethos, the music of Africa and the African diaspora and building a brand, creative hub and party institution. Plus we hear how not even power cuts, traffic, police and giant insects can keep them from a party, and we discuss our run-ins with Game of Thrones characters at the rave.
