Bembe

Editorial Review

Totally anti-colonialist free-thinking blondes from Sarah Lawrence mix it up with lovely Afro-Latino soul queens at this outpost of percussion-heavy positive-vibes world music. Two levels of rustic tropical charm, with neo-hippy bartenders shaking mojitos as fast as coked-up bunny rabbits. Located under the Williamsburg Bridge, narrow space in South Williamsburg's multiculti tangle may yet become the new seat of global Hip-Hopcracy. Nice to know we can all get along, provided the booze doesn't run out.
