AFRI-KOKOA FESTIVAL
@ RICH MIX Arts Centre, Bethnel Green
SATURDAY 25th JULY 2009 2pm to 1am - FREE ENTRY b4 7pm

AFRI-KOKOA is back by public demand - after we delivered a Bank Holiday that set a new landmark for modern afro arts and music events.

We bring to you a unique and exciting all dayer arts and music festival! This will be the beginning of a new chapter at a new venue the ‘Rich Mix’.

Headlining the night and providing a dancing, funking tribute to the ancestors of Afro music is the wild and exuberant Yaaba Funk. A 10-piece Afro beat band of many years experience performing their dance floor-filling brand of original 70’s Ghanaian Hi-Life and hard-hitting funk, cut with a strong dose of ‘Afro-broken-beat’ and more than a hint of Dub.

Miles Cleret, honcho of legendary Soundway Records, digs out a deep funky selection of classic African funk soul. Expect to hear sounds that he discovered on his famous collections Ghana Soundz. The night will be finished off in dance floor filling style with modern afro warriors DJ Eric Soul (Afrogroov, Components) with African Mc Dou G with Afri-kokoa Resident DJs AJ Kwame and Baggy.

The event will be free during the day to all and especially aimed at families during the day featuring activities for the young kids including free African Drumming and African Story telling.

In the early evening there will feature a London Talent session with two promising female singers giving us interpretations of their soul music. There will be a viewing of new short film “Love is..” followed by a Q and A with the film makers.

+ Art Exhibition by Bubble Wrap Arts
+ Arts & crafts stalls
+ Special Afro food dishes

All this is free on arrival before 7pm - £6 thereafter.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.richmix.org.uk

AFROBEAT NO LIMIT





Apr 11 2009 4:07 PM




Grâce à l’Afrobeat, c’est à dire sa force nucléaire et son pouvoir dansant, Fela voulait libérer l’Afrique de toutes sortes d’oppressions !
La nuit Afrobeat No Limit est l’occasion de se retrouver au coeur de ce groove polymorphe combinant le jazz, le funk, la soul et les rythmes africains.



DELE SOSIMI Afrobeat Orchestra

Dele Sosimi a le secret de l’Afrobeat. Clavier de Fela de 1979 à 1986, co-fondateur de Femi Kuti & The Positive Force, il est actuellement basé à Londres en tant que maître incontestable de l’Afrobeat.
Sa musique très inspirée du roi Fela et de l’univers Yoruba est un mélange de funk, de groove lancinant, de high-life, de jazz chaudement cuivré et des rythmes traditionnels du Nigeria.
Alchimiste et griot moderne de l’Afrobeat, c’est sur scène que l’on mesure la puissance de son canon massif qui enflamme les salles, prouvant qu’il possède lui aussi cette lampe récupérée de la concession familiale de Lagos pour irradier le public.



ANG The Afrobeat New Generators

Le groove unique et l'énergie incandescente qui font la force de l'Afrobeat.



SHINRI

C’est d’abord la sensation, la voix soul suffisamment trempée, capable de survoler la scène londonienne dans toutes ses tendances actuelles.
Sa trajectoire traverse celle de Janis Joplin, Tracy Chaplin et Aretha Franklin. Mais en l’écoutant on constate que son originalité réside dans la synthèse des grands courants et de la musique moderne.


En concert gratuit au Forum de 20h à 22h.

Highlife, afro funk, afrobeat et electro-jazz...

L’occasion de se laisser embarquer par ce groove en ignition, unique,
polyhybride, de funk, de rock, de jazz et du vaudou yoruba...


GHETTO BLASTER :
Après avoir martelé un afrobeat rageur dans les années 80, Ghetto Blaster
continue d’enflammer les salles grâce à leur style afro-soul-funk bien
encré dans le métissage. Ils rendront hommage à Ringo l’ex-batteur de Fela
Kuti & Egypt 80, accompagnés d’autres figures de légende de l’afrobeat,
lors d’une nuit synonyme de fête et de transe !


THE AFROROCKERZ & AMAYO (ANTIBALAS) :
Les Afrorockerz expérimentent le vaste champ du rock, de la soul et de la
pop, en y injectant un souffle nouveau : le dirty afrobeat groove !
Le featuring avec Duke Amayo, le bouillonnant spiritual leader d’Antibalas Afrobeat Orchesta, s’annonce explosif !


KIALA & FRIENDS
Formé d’un septet ciselé de feu dont Lulendo à la voix de satain, et le doux
dingue Jean-Jacques Elangué au sax tenor entre autres, Kiala crée une
musique tirée de son périple en Europe, au Japon, en faisant une longue
pause au Congo (ex-Zaïre) – son pays d’enfance avec des morceaux tels que M’Songo, Mokili.
Le récit s’achève avec « Together », époustouflant duo phénoménal avec Sandra Nkake !
