Are you looking to get on the dance floor this weekend? Lucky for you, a Halloween event celebrating African Caribbean culture is taking place in Detroit on Saturday. Brendan Asante, founder of Jerk X Jollof, and Chef Godwin Ihentuge from Yum Village joined Tati Amare on “Live in the D” to discuss the celebration.

Bold flavors from Africa and the Caribbean with stewed meats so tender they fall off the bone - those are the landmarks of Godwin Ihentuge’s Yum Village. We head to there to Dine in the D!
