Afrikan Party is the story of a boy born in 2090 in the United States of Afrika—a journey through its thousands of traditions, rituals and cultures that connect him to the past, present and future. A trip through each vital milestone through dance, music and fashion. An ode to life, a statement of what we can achieve when we stand together. A window to an infinite field of possibilities for the new generations.

After presenting her first solo Black (2020) on multiple stages in the last three years (Suzanne Dellal Centre, GREC Festival, Cádiz en Danza, Dampzentrale, Teatro Fernán Gómez, among others), Africa Moment produces and presents Afrikan Party (2022)—choreographer Oulouy's new creation with the five international performers that make up his Supa Rich Kids crew.

Oulouy is one of the key artists in the current international urban dance scene. Born in the Ivory Coast and living in Barcelona for the last decades, Oulouy combines his facet as a dancer, choreographer and artistic director with his educational activity, giving masterclasses worldwide. In 2022, Oulouy received a nomination at the XXIV Catalan Critic Awards for Performing Arts and another for the Dansacat Awards in the category of best dancer of the year. In addition, he is the founder and curator of the OYOFE International Festival, dedicated to urban dances.
