At a time when club culture has become more about the flex than the music and the dance, True Clrs is building something grounded: a travelling party that treats Afropop, Amapiano, and the wider spectrum of African sound as an integral core to the identity of the dancefloor itself.

Launched by a crew of diasporic tastemakers and cultural connectors, Adeola Kofoworade and Menab Tesfu, True Clrs has spent the past two years popping up in cities all over the states: LA, New York, Atlanta, and Houston. These parties have created a consistent environment where sounds from back home feel central to the party and not in the periphery. 

It’s a formula that works because it knows exactly who this is for–a generation of Africans and diasporic kids who grew up moving between genres, cities, and timelines, and still want to dance like they’re in Lagos, Joburg, or Accra.

Houston’s edition of True Clrs, holding this weekend, will mark our first collaboration, with ODUMODUBLVCK and Sarz headlining the Global Sounds Stage, featuring Native SOUND SYSTEM’s DJ Sholz, Lowkey Ade, Khulumars, and a special guest. You can expect a full vibe of Afrobeats, Gqom, Afrohouse, Garage, and Brazilian funk in rotation, without apology. 

True Clrs is a reminder that the best parties are the ones where culture leads. And in a time where African music is dominating charts, this travelling party gives out music a proper home on the dance floor.
