Afriquoi, The Jazz Cafe, London - 13th April 2024
No venue for old men
The venue is great in many ways, but not necessarily for someone age 50+, coming alone, having trusted the information about tickets, timing etc provided (or rather, mostly not provided) beforehand. Still, with a band like Afriquoi, nothing can really go wrong. Before the concert, I managed to get a great drink and find a relatively calm spot to read the paper while waiting (The pub across the street would have suited me better, but the no re-entry policy - unknown to me upon arrival - stopped that) and as soon as the band started - I was in seventh heaven for the rest of the night!

Afriquoi (Live), The Jazz Cafe, London - 16th November 2018
Afriquoi are a London-based fusion collective blending African rhythms, electronic beats, and live instrumentation to create an uplifting and dancefloor-ready sound. Formed in 2011, the group draws from a diverse range of influences, incorporating elements of house, Afrobeat, soca, and UK bass music. Their music is deeply rooted in collaboration, featuring musicians from Gambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, and the UK, bringing together traditional African instrumentation with modern electronic production.
Their breakout release Kolaba (2015) introduced their signature mix of hypnotic kora melodies, intricate percussion, and infectious grooves, with tracks like "Carnabala" and "Kudaushe" becoming festival favourites. Known for their high-energy live performances, Afriquoi have played at major UK and European festivals, including Glastonbury, Boomtown, and WOMAD, and have supported the likes of Bonobo and The Comet Is Coming. Their forward-thinking approach to global sounds and electronic fusion has made them one of the most exciting acts in the world music and dance scene today.
