Big Voodoo: Barcelona’s New Afro-Electronic Festival
by Adriano Batista
On May 31st, Barcelona’s Poble Espanyol will transform into a pulsing hub of Afro-futurism with Big Voodoo, a festival that refuses to fit neatly into any box. More than just music, it’s a full-day immersion into the vibrant crossroads of African and global electronic culture, where DJ sets collide with live mural paintings, fashion pop-ups, and an afterparty stretching into dawn.
Behind it all is Voodoo, the Barcelona-based collective that’s spent the last seven years reshaping Spain’s nightlife and art scenes. What started as a club night in 2018 has grown into a movement, championing contemporary African creativity across fashion, music, and beyond. Now, with Big Voodoo, they’re taking things bigger: a lineup of artists from Lagos to Berlin, a marketplace for designers, and installations that blur the lines between party and art exhibit.
The festival’s founder, Wekafore Jibril, embodies this genre-defying spirit. A Nigerian-born multihyphenate (designer, musician, actor, and eternal creative chameleon), he’s turned personal experiences of displacement into fuel for his work. Whether through his fashion label’s designs, his music’s afrobeats-meets-electronic experiments, or now this festival, Wekafore’s mission stays consistent: to celebrate African creativity on a global stage, with zero compromises.
By day, expect street food and browsing emerging designers’ wares. By night, the focus shifts to the beats, with DJs and live acts channeling the diaspora’s energy into something entirely fresh. And when the main event ends? The afterparty kicks off, because Voodoo knows the best connections happen at 4AM.
This music festival is a manifesto, proof that the future of culture is collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and rooted in joy.
