Beats & Gourmet in Lagos
A ‘Beats & Gourmet’ event at Popcentral Culture Space in Nigeria paired Afrobeats programming with chef collaborations, welcome drinks, and music‑history exhibitions — a clear example of music and gourmet curation in non‑Western markets PopcentralTV X.
The activation sat inside Popcentral’s Culture Space program for “70 Years of Music in Nigeria,” which Popcentral scheduled as a month‑long festival from December 1–30, 2025. (bellanaija.com) Popcentral’s venue in Lekki advertises rehearsal and podcast studios, flexible rooms, and on‑site “food & drinks,” facilities the organisation uses to host pop‑up culinary collaborations. (tiktok.com) FashionEVO publicly listed itself as a partner for Popcentral’s “70 Years” programme. (fashionevo.style) BellaNaija also named itself a media partner for the December 2025 run. (bellanaija.com) Popcentral’s event materials note fourteen artists‑in‑residence plus ten independent artists were commissioned to create the exhibition’s visual and sonic displays. (popcentraltv.com) Event listings show an earlier edition of the Popcentral exhibition ran December 18–24, 2024, suggesting Beats & Gourmet grew out of consecutive exhibition activations rather than a one‑off pop‑up. (eventbrite.com) Popcentral distributes through DSTV (channel 189) and operates an active YouTube channel with roughly 7,000+ subscribers, giving programmed activations like Beats & Gourmet immediate broadcast and social amplification.
