Pure afro-fire incoming!!! ???

YAABA FUNK (Live) Band on stage around 2pm, performing 2 live sets.

Yaaba Funk have been an important part of the contemporary Afro scene in the UK since their formation in Brixton, London in 2006. The band have been playing their ‘21st Century Hi-Life’ around the world ever since. With three albums under their belt and one currently being recorded, the band is as accomplished in the studio as they are on stage.

“(If you) imagine Fela Kuti’s legendary Shrine club relocated to South London you’re a long way to understanding the irresistible appeal of this energetic collective” (Womad website). “The band mix Hi-Life, Afrobeat and Funk with the bass-heavy sounds that exemplify much of London music. Trying not to dance is like trying to eat gum without chewing” (Catch A Vibe website).

Fronted by vocalists Richmond Kessie and Helen McDonald, Yaaba Funk bring hard-hitting Afro drums and percussion, tight horns and psychedelic guitars into the mix.
