In a nod to the principle of the famous infoline, inherited from the Rave era, the location is revealed only a few hours before the beginning of the festival, only by SMS. Through techniques like this&nbsp; Moonshine has, in a handful of years, become a leading agitator in the nightlife of Montreal. Additionally: a quick trip to Bonbon Kojak&#8217;s Boiler Room should convince you of their powers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moonshine has joined the large African digital Nyege Nyege diaspora. Percussionist Elli Mbonda, selectas Pierre Kwenders, San Farafina, Bonbon Kojak and singer Odile Myrtil represented Montreal from a rooftop overlooking the southwest of their favourite city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/moonshine.mu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mooshine<\/a> collective, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nyegenyege.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nyege Nyege Festival<\/a> 2020, worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"568\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/13babc7b-moonshine-nyege-nyege-1010x568.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/13babc7b-moonshine-nyege-nyege-1010x568.png 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/13babc7b-moonshine-nyege-nyege-759x427.png 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/13babc7b-moonshine-nyege-nyege-661x372.png 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/13babc7b-moonshine-nyege-nyege-465x262.png 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/13babc7b-moonshine-nyege-nyege-375x211.png 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/13babc7b-moonshine-nyege-nyege.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As free ambassadors to the Afro-world diaspora, the Moonshine collective was Montreal&#8217;s representative at the digital edition of Nyege Nyege 2020. &#8220;If there&#8217;s one event in the world we&#8217;d like to play in, it&#8217;s the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":67280,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3944],"tags":[1281,1777,2615],"location":[8184],"yst_prominent_words":[12556,8403,20609,8548,8668,15458,8414,8447,29557,9729,16405,16406,29572,9375,8435,20879,9728,9720,8543,8438],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67278"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67278"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=67278"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=67278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
