Lineup and details for AFRI-KOKOA Presents FELA! Musical band ‘FONTANELLES’ on Saturday 5th November 2011
Greetings Afri-kokoa(ians), we continue our essential diet of the best quality afro inspired music around. After the massive success and dancefloor mayhem of last months Black History Festival event featuring Ozi Ozza and Mindiarabi, we waste no time in bringing you the most exciting new live afro-band in London right now.
The FONTANELLES are a new 10-piece band, featuring some of the most highly rated players from the jazz, afrobeat and dub/reggae scenes in London. Having played with the likes of Mulatu Astatké, Johnny Clarke, Chartwell Dutiro, Cinematic Orchestra, Zero 7, Roberto Pla, Plan B and many more, the band formed whilst playing for the FELA! musical at the National Theatre.
'A terrific 12 piece band who intensify the music's seductively repetitive rhythms'
The Independent
'The on stage band works up a storm as they pound through Fela Kuti's hits to electrifying effect'
The Metro
