about

Formed out of the collaboration between London fusionistas LoKkhi TeRra (“probably the worlds best Cuban-Afrobeat-Bangladeshi group” Songlines) and UK’s Afrobeat Ambassador Dele Sosimi (“A true legend” Clash), Cubafrobeat was initially the name of their critically acclaimed album from 2018 (“ A total Stonking Blinder” All About Jazz). This has evolved naturally into an entirely new musical beast – and this is their first single.
This tune was originally composed by members of Lokkhi Terra whilst on tour in Bangladesh - using a typical Bengali groove in 5/4 as a starting point. Inspired by this odd time signature, Dele joined in, initiating an old Yoruba numeracy and literacy call and response interactive game. Throw in a killer solo by Saxophonist Finn Peters and the musical joy is clear to hear. Everybody say Yeah Yeah
