For the past four years this culturally diverse group "YABBA FUNK" have been working the London underground club scene creating a huge following from the young to the old no sitting down in your seats. They draw influences from Alhaji K Frimpong, Fela Kuti, Oscar Sulley but to name a few. You may ask what do the group stand? In the words of their commander and chief Richmond Kessie "we want to revive Afrobeat with a twist and get people dancing again" For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term "Afrobeat" its roots lie in Ghanaian and Nigerian sounds from the 60s and 70s as well as funk, broken beat and jazz.
"YABBA AFROBEAST FUNK" is on general release definitely one for your collection!!
