Lagos Roots: 15-Piece Afrobeat Orchestra

Fronted by Geoffrey Omadhebo (Sonny Okosuns, One World), this 15-piece afrobeat orchestra brings it back, straight to 1970s West Africa. Lagos Roots presents a version of unfiltered, deeply-grooved Nigerian/WestCoast Afrobeat that follows a direct path to the beginnings of the genre. The band’s performances feature a healthy blend of Fela Kuti & Africa 70s classic repertoire with Omadhebo’s own politically charged compositions, and in classical afrobeat fashion, the music speaks for itself, offering audiences a sharp reminder of the ability of live music to capture a political and historical message and spin it back to the public in a contemporary and provocatively musical way.
