Dele Sosimi is arguably the most influential artist working in today’s afrobeat scene in London, and we’re delighted that for so long we’ve been able to call The Jazz Cafe the home of his seminal Afrobeat parties.
With infectious rhythms, jazz horns and fiery percussion, Dele’s funky grooves and unrelenting spirit makes this one of the biggest dates in the calendar.
Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra returns to the main stage with special guests, this February.
