The first Nigerian student parties in the city

The first Nigerian student parties in Toronto were more than just gatherings — they were the spark that ignited the city’s Afrobeats scene. Long before clubs and concert halls, these basement and dorm parties brought together students who wanted to celebrate their culture, music, and community. They set the tone for a movement that would grow into one of the most vibrant and influential music cultures in Canada.
In this video, we explore how these early parties shaped Toronto’s nightlife, giving rise to DJs, promoters, and creatives who would later carry the sound to bigger stages. From intimate vibes to global influence, it all started with students coming together to dance, connect, and build something that would last far beyond their university years.
