If you were partying in Miami in the early 2000s, you definitely know this guy. We had the pleasure to talk with DJ Africa whose real name is still a mystery.
DJ Africa told us about the time he DJed for former President of the United States, Barack Obama along with Marc Anthony, how the Miami party scene changed over the last 2 decades, where his nickname came from, and the legendary Bongos.
Enjoy!
