Who is Papa Costa?<\/h4>\n

Papa Costa was a Greek immigrant who had moved to Khartoum, Sudan in the early 20th century! He was a passionate music and coffee bean lover. He wanted to bring his authentic Greek coffee taste to Sudan. Costa, therefore, did this by creating a sanctuary of infectious melodies of jazz and a cozy atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Papa Costa began to be the meeting place for locals and tourists, artists and activists. People felt comfortable to gather there and discuss literature, politics and culture. Papa Costa was the spot!<\/p>\n
