Global festival AFROPUNK went stateside in Atlanta, GA, offering mixed cocktails from its partner, Ketel One Family Made Vodka. Known as the Carnival of Consciousness, AFROPUNK featured an array of alternative music acts including sounds from Anderson Paak & The Free Nationals and mixed cocktails from the Ketel One family (Botanical Spritz to Ketel One Vodka & Soda). The drinks at the festival highlighted fresh, local ingredients, including fresh-pressed juices and natural garnishes, each thoughtfully sourced with the festival’s theme and guests in mind. Cheers!

TeamBackPack is known for consistently dropping quality cyphers as long as they’ve been around, and the NYC crew Loaf Muzik are the latest to put on for their hometown.
