"Afrobeat Vibration" A Bi-Monthly Live Afrobeat Sessions in an authentic Afrika Shrine style Kicked of in November 2008.
Dele has Afrobeat is a combination of Yoruba music, jazz, Highlife, and funk rhythms, fused with percussion and vocal styles, popularized in Africa in the 1970s. Afrobeat's main creator was the Nigerian multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Fela Kuti, who coined the term Afrobeat, shaped the musical structure and also the political context of the genre in Nigeria. Nigerians were first introduced to Afrobeat in 1970 when Kuti returned from a U.S tour with his group Nigeria 70 (formerly Koola Lobitos). Kuti's new sound hailed from a club that he established called the Afro-Shrine. Upon arriving in Nigeria, Kuti changed the name of his group to Fela Ransome-Kuti & Africa 70. The band maintained a five-year residency in the Afro-Shrine from 1970-75 while Afrobeat thrived among Nigerian youth. read more on wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrobeat Dele Sosimi is known for the original keyboard player of Fela Kuti's Egypt 80 for 7 years and then working as music director for Femi Kuti's Positive Force. Based in London, Dele is now working on his own project to spread and educate the sprit and culture of Afrobeat.
