The Afro-funk night features two mighty bands born from the same hot furnace of Lagos' Nigerian Afrobeat music scene. Both bands are lead by charismatic bassists with extraordinary power to take the music low.

THE RHYTHMS a 7-piece band from Lagos, mixes the cerebral musicality of afrobeat with the visceral grooves of funk and underpinned with Yoruba-English vocal styles.
FEMI SOFELA (bass), EBENEZER OKE (guitar), NIRAN OBASA (synths), GBENGA KOLADE (keys), TOPE OREKOYA (percussion), TOSIN DAGUNDURO (drums) and ESTHER MABADEJE (vocals)
This is contemporary African music at its best that takes the past into the future.

AFUNJA
The 10-piece Afunja is powered by the bass lines of Afolabi Lipede and the soulful voices of the three singers.

Expect heavy bass grooves and dance rhythms from two of the most explosive bands to emerge from Lagos in a long time.
