Afrolicious is
Joe McGuire’s (aka Pleasuremaker)
& brother Oz McGuire's foray
into African music. Together
they started San Francisco’s
legendary weekly party called “Afrolicious”,
which has evolved into a band.
Working with
musicians from all over Africa
and the diaspora, this project
explores deep admiration and
respect for the rhythms, sounds
and musicians from Africa. Their
1st EP entitled a “Dub for Mali”

music (Thievery Corporations
label).
