The Sudanese-London collective, The Scorpios return to the Jazz Cafe to launch their anticipated new album “Let’s Go” with an electrifying night of funk and soul-infused afrobeat.
Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, their revamped sound combines soul, afrobeat and psychedelica that drive through the rich sounds of traditional Sudanese forms. Blending Arabic rhythms and guitar with raw Eastern funk and Western jazz, the 10-piece collective is supported by an international backing band, heavy bass, synths, horns and percussion create a sound that owes as much to Detroit as it does to Khartoum.
This event is part of the London EFG Jazz Festival programme, running across the capital from 12-21 November.
Jazz Cafe is wheelchair accessible.
This event is 18+.
