Soul-shaking, horn-fueled Afrobeat brings together this inner London eight-piece, whose name means ‘be strong’ in Urhobo.
Led by trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey, the group play music they love, music they grew up with and music their parents got funky to.
Their sound is inspired by Fela Kuti, Ebo Taylor, Tony Allen and the best of West African music.
