The 13th London African Music Festival and Joyful Noise present
If, as the great Fela Kuti once said, ‘music is the weapon’, then you’ll need to wear armour to withstand the full sonic force of London Afrobeat Collective – this politicised party machine are an incendiary live act who channel the spirit of the Afrobeat founder via bass-heavy rhythms guaranteed to make you move.
London African Collective’s brand new album Food Chain produced by Leon Birchard and will be released in May 2015 was made in London. This Big Funk from Africa keeps Afrobeat principles strong and leads the way to the future of the movement. The album represents the pulse of London's live music scene and designed to thrill audiences and inspire DJs to play fresh sounds from the heart of the city.
This equal and diverse ten piece adds funk and rock guitar to the bass, beats and brass in a session that includes Yoruba sung 'Ijo Ina' where compelling vocalist Funke Adeleke pierces the sound waves and leads us to the dance floor. As one of the most unique and exciting bands in the UK today, their live performance is nothing short of awe inspiring.
