Wormfood Presents
Discover how Africa has influenced UK artists at this night of futuristic music.
London-based promoters Wormfood showcase a new generation of home-grown artists who have been inspired by African sounds.
Headliners Afriquoi combine the virtuosic kora of Jally Kebba Suso and the guitar of Fiston Lusambo with percussion, vocals and live electronics. Their sound marries traditional music from across Africa with an uplifting, contemporary UK style.
They are joined by pioneering dub-reggae ensemble African Head Charge. The group – led by co-founder and percussionist Bonjo Iyabhinghi Noah – fuse primal drumbeats with psychedelic dub, roots reggae and modern electronica.
The night ends with DJs who take African music in new directions. Nubiyan Twist play some of the tracks that have influenced them as a band, including afro-funk, afro-Brazilian and afrobeat favourites.
