To whom much is given, much is always expected. We have given a lot to setting up Africa Night Nijmegen. It is only fair that we should expect at least a bit back. A couple of months back we were so frustrated by the meagre turnout we considered switching off.
A couple of months later, we are enjoying it as much as we did when we started in Nijmegen 1 year ago. Africa Night Nijmegen is a unique experience really. While it does not pull the crowd Africa Night Tilburg does, it has a cosy and intimate atmosphere that makes it unique. People come (late unfortunately) and enjoy the music and dance to the music. It always amazes us how much time the people who come there spend on the dance floor. Africa Night Nijmegen might not be the busiest of Africa Night. But it is certainly the best in terms the fun and intimacy and cosiness it offers. It has an easy going feel to it. In a short time, it has built its own face and its own identity. It is not a clone of Tilburg. It took us a while to realise that, but we are happy about both Tilburg & Nijmegen having a different profile.
All doubts are gone now. In 2013 we will go on and keep entertaining the loyal guests. Those from far and those from near, you can mark it with big letters in your diary; Africa Night Nijmegen – every 1st Saturday of the month, January till December 2013. Same place! If you’ve never been there, you are invited to come and join the fun! Next fun date? Saturday 5th January 2013.
Discover the joy of African music & dance!
