AFRIKOKOA ushers in some sunshine in terms of some fantastic afro music with the next Live session On this session from the heart of Brixton comes YAABA FUNK, a ten piece band who, since forming from jams at house parties in 2006, have rocked clubs, fired up festivals and demonstrated that the spirit of Fela Kuti resides in South London. YAABA FUNK play a mix of classic 70's Ghanaian Hi-Life and hard-hitting funk. They cut this monster sound with a strong dose of 'Afro-broken-beat', Ska and Dub flavours, whilst Senegalese, Brazilian and Cuban influences broaden and fill out their sound. Three vocalists, horns, percussion and funky African guitars, underpinned by deep analogue bass and driving drums create a 21st century urban Afro sound. Yaaba Funk's live shows are renowned for raw energy, huge grooves and great musician ship. Guaranteed to get all listeners up and dancing. We are also proud to feature 'Spoonface' Trio with Spoonface on vocals, Adrian Curtis on guitar and Phil Craig on accordion.
