Kasai Masai, the kings of Urban Equatorial Funk, return tonight to celebrate one of the great heroes of African music – Papa Wemba. The performance will be preceded by a documentary showing Downstairs at 8.45 p.m.
First class exponents of the Soukous style of music, Kasai Masai aren’t known for doing things by halves.
Based in London, and led by Voodoo King, Nickens Nkoso, Kasai Masai mix the traditional sound of the equatorial African village with a distinctive urban edge. The band’s fast-paced style of Soukous and African Rumba is impossible to stay still to.
From the plains to the soaring heights, theirs is a sound that will transport you to a land where music is more than just entertainment, they will take you to a place where it is a way of life.
This is a special, late night gig to kick start our celebration on Black History Month.
Please note that there will be very limited seating for this event – trust us, this is a gig that will get you dancing! Please call if you would like to reserve seating.
