Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra in London

Dele Sosimi, a Nigerian-British musician who began his career playing keyboards for Fela Kuti's Egypt 80, brings his Afrobeat Orchestra to London. The 15-piece ensemble features a five-piece horn section and dancers, delivering a blend of complex funk grooves, Nigerian traditional music, and African percussion. Sosimi's music, rooted in Afrobeat, is known for its jazz horns and rhythmic singing.

Attendees can expect a high-energy performance from a band that has played major festivals worldwide, including the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Paradiso in Amsterdam. The core group includes musicians like Femi Elias on bass and Kunle Olofinjana on drums, ensuring a tight, authentic Afrobeat experience. This is a rare chance to see a living link to the genre's origins in an intimate London setting.
