We’re excited to announce that we will be sharing this fine night at Southpaw (our home away from home) with Bryan Vargas Y Ya Esta, an incredible band that puts an electrified, soulful spin on Mambo, Rumba and Son music from the Afro-Caribbean diaspora. And you can expect some more bumpin’ new material from your good friends at Akoya. Yes indeed, it’ll be a night of unadulterated getting down. Tickets are available now at ticketweb.com, and for further information, check out the flyer above.

Due to some unfortunate unforseen circumstances, Akoya will not be performing at Lucky Cat next Friday, September 12th, so please update yourselves. We will be back in action at Southpaw, October 3rd with some surprises. See you soon!

After a brief summer pause, Akoya is back in action starting Friday, Sept. 12th at Williamsburg’s own Lucky Cat. We’ll be hitting up Southpaw too, so get ready for more fire! Check our calendar for details.

Akoya returns to Southpaw, Brooklyn’s Premiere Music Venue this Friday, July 11th. We will be rocking with DJ Concerned and will be performing some scorching new material.

Akoya is honored to be a part of the Brooklyn Museum’s First Saturday party this week (June 7th). For those who don’t know, First Saturday’s are a NYC institution, bringing people together from all walks of city life to enjoy free music, art, lectures, booze (well, the booze isn’t free), etc. Akoya will be kicking the event off at 5pm with a heavy, heavy performance in the museum’s Sculpture Garden. We hope to see you there!

(The Brooklyn Museum is located at 200 Eastern Parkway, right by the 2/3 train to Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum. Click here for detailed directions.)
