Aqua Lounge DC, Emma Neyra, Iyanya, University of Maryland

Iyanya (you can check out his new album, which is quite good, on Spotify) will be making an appearance at an event hosted by the African Students Association of the University of Maryland tonight.

Iyanya is on tour with Emma Nyra, a Nigerian – American raised in Texas who appears to have relocated to Nigeria to pursue her musical career.

The after party, will be held at Aqua Lounge (which appears to be a traditionally Asian venue) in NE DC.  Tickets for that are available online.
