Jingle and Vibes [Reloaded] - Afrobeat Edition

Jingle and Vibes [Reloaded] is coming to Playlist Live on Saturday 19 December, an Afrobeat Edition that Big B Entertainment is billing as an end-of-year Afro Xmas party. It's a Big B Entertainment exclusive, and the night is built around Afrobeats, Amapiano, R&B and Dancehall, so you'll get a good mix of West African sounds and the Caribbean rhythms that usually go hand-in-hand with them.

If you're not familiar with the names, Afrobeats is the modern, polished sound coming out of Nigeria and Ghana, while Amapiano is the deep house style that's taken off from South Africa. Throwing R&B and Dancehall into the mix means the night doesn't just stick to one corner of the continent, so it's easy to find your feet even if you only know one of those sounds. It's the kind of line-up that works for a party, with enough variety to keep things moving across the whole night.

Playlist Live is at 108A Friar Street in Reading, right in the town centre, so it's an easy one to get to. The party runs late, starting at 10:30pm and going until 4:30am, so it's a proper late-night affair rather than an early evening thing. If you're heading out with a group, table bookings are available through 07474 739009 and 07853 482158.

Tickets range from £16.50 up to £187, depending on what you're after, and you can find them on Fatsoma. With the late start and the Afrobeat, Amapiano, R&B and Dancehall focus, it's set up as a full night of dancing rather than a quick stop.
