Bio
The London Afrobeat Collective is a dirty dozen of battle-hardened musicians from all corners of the globe who've played everywhere from Gdansk to Zanzibar, from Lagos to Los Angeles. Since 2009, the band has been the driving force behind the new afrobeat craze sweeping through the trendy clubs of Cool London: Proud (Camden), Charlie Wright's (Hoxton), Passing Clouds (Dalston), and the New Empowering Church (Dalston) are just some of the venues they've blown the roof off. 2010 saw the band taking their characteristically raw, explosive sound into the studio to record the debut album 'L.A.C.' along with some of afrobeat's finest vocalists: Inemo Samiama, Dele Sosimi and Wale Ojo.
