Highlife Fusion with a Modern Twist: The Cavemen. Bring Nigerian Rhythms to the BBC Proms
Praised for their ‘bewitching, colourful and easy-listening grooves’, Nigerian sensations Kingsley Okorie and Benjamin James bring their distinctive brand of ‘highlife fusion’ to the BBC Proms. Blending Igbo highlife – all bright horns, plucked guitar riffs and pulsing percussion – with jazz and soul, the brothers launched their careers with the influential 2020 album ROOTS (recorded in their living room) and have since collaborated with everyone from Wizkid to Angélique Kidjo and Davido.
There will be no interval
The Cavemen will be at Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday 12th August @ 22:15
Tickets from £12.20. Stand on the day for £8. https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/e5vxp6
