Afriquoi Acoustic

  • Dalston Eastern Curve Garden 13 Dalston Lane London E8 3DF United Kingdom (map)

Live African dance music, fusing Congolese guitar and Gambian kora virtuosity with UK electronic sensibilities to create uplifting, dancefloor- friendly new music for a new generation of music fans. Afriquoi's masterful 5-piece live show combines Gambian kora, Congolese guitar and Mandinka percussion styles with electronic music drawing on house, garage, disco, soul and jungle to create something entirely unique.

Based in London but originating from Africa, the Carribean and the UK, Afrquoi's members range in age across 3 decades, creating fusion music in the best sense of the word, bringing together a vast depth of musical knowledge, culture and life experience.

They have established a cult gobal fanbase, loved by fans both of African and electronic music. Their afro house classic ‘Kudaushe’ has become an established favourite in clubs all over the world, and they have toured all over Europe, with huge crowds singing along to their songs on major stages at Glastonbury, WOMAD, Dimensions, Fusion, Boomtown, Shambala, Bestival, Secret Garden Party and the London 2012 Olympics.

Join them for the global debut of their long-awaited acoustic set.
