Event information
Friday night at Jamboree with renowned jazz, afrobeat, dance and avant-gardé musician Bukky Leo and his Afrobeat Quartet!
Bukky grew up in Lagos Nigeria, where he was spotted practising his first saxophone by the original afro-beat drummer Tony Allen. He went on to play with the great Fela Kuti, developing his distinct style of jazz and afrobeat, and became one of the forerunners of the acid jazz scene. His band tonight features the legendary Kofi Adu of the highlife internationals on drums, the irrepressible Dennis Davies of Osibisa and Black Egypt on bass, and the unique Dan Waldman of the roots and groove fraternity on guitar and effects.
DJ Russ Jones (aka The Hackney Globetrotter) will also keep the dancefloor moving through the night. Jones is one of the leading lights of the ever growing international 'global beats' music scene, playing a world beat mix up covering everything from Cumbia to Soukous, gypsy, latin hip hop, reggaeton, dubstep, raverton, afro beats, vintage classics and beyond.
