Afrobeats + Amapiano · Medellín nightlife

Find the Afrobeat, Amapiano and Caribbean Energy You Came to Medellín For.

Blackout Entertainment connects international travelers, Medellín locals and the global Afro diaspora through music-led experiences across the city.

Local knowledge · Clear group planning

For travelers who want more than a generic nightclub list.

Finding the right Afrobeat or Amapiano night in a new city can be difficult: event schedules change, music formats vary and the best experience may be a rooftop, pool day or special weekend rather than a weekly club night.

Blackout Entertainment produces and curates Afrobeats, Amapiano, Dancehall, Soca, Hip-Hop and Afro-Caribbean experiences in Medellín. Our public event pages show confirmed dates, venues and official ticket links when booking is open.
