The Disappearing Dancefloors of Accra

from Deep Dive: Stories from The Labari Journal

This episode discusses the evolution of Accra's nightlife scene, highlighting a shift from community-focused venues to more profit-driven spaces. Kobby Graham notes how the rise of social media and the "Boiler Room effect" have transformed DJing into a performance for the camera, prioritizing spectacle over the music itself. Furthermore, his article explains how a preference for new and flashy venues, combined with a business model focused on targeting a small elite rather than the masses, has led to the disappearance of large dancefloors in favor of tables and VIP sections.Read all our stories at labarijournal.com Hosted on Acast.
