Join us for the KIZOMBA SUNDAY MIX UP at the Legendary Bissap Baobab in SF!
Come eat good food, learn some Kizomba and dance to good music.

A big part of African culture is coming together with family and friends, eating, laughing, dancing and celebrating Life! And what better way than doing that then with Kizomba at Bissap Baobab!
The original meaning of “Kizomba”, is party/gathering, in Kimbundu (a Bantu language in Angola). It was when people got together in the backyard and listened to music, ate and danced. Kizomba Sunday at Baobab is bringing back that feeling, with an event that is unlike any in the Bay.

So come meet new friendly faces, fill your belly and your heart!
MUSIC TASTES WILL INCLUDE: Kizomba, Semba, Zouk, Konpa, Urban, Afrobeats, Afro-Caribbean Latin vibes…All music to keep you moving and grooving!

This is an ALL AGES, FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT! Bring your parents, grandparents, children and the like! Even if you don’t dance Kizomba, enjoy the music and the food.
