Agbeko

Saturday 18th November
AGBEKO
£13 | £15 [+ 10% booking fee]
Doors open 8pm – tickets available on the door
18+ show

Agbeko embody a heady concoction of Afrobeat, psych-rock, Ethiojazz and Protest Song. Channelled through an onslaught of horns, irresistible grooves and powerful lyrics, Agbeko’s songs strive to call out corruption and embolden the collective pull towards societal change and healing in present times. They are the soundtrack for a congregation revelling upon a world teetering on the edge of collapse.

Drawing as equally from Fela Kuti and Mulatu Astatke as they do from Led Zeppelin and Woody Guthrie, ‘Agbeko are their own force of nature, with a message, an understanding and a consistent ability to erupt a dance floor.’ (Groovement)

Agbeko are stalwarts of the UK’s much-lauded festival scene, including performances at Green Man, Wilderness, Secret Garden Party, Blue Dot, The Great Escape, Boomtown, Oxford Festival of the Arts and Manchester Jazz Festival.

‘Manchester’s finest – and most persuasive – advert for quixotic musical adventure’ MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS

‘Agbeko have developed their sound to the point of distinction…deeply danceable, lyrically poignant and importantly, identifiable.’ The Guide to the World of Music

‘Step forward 12 versatile musicians with a reverence for the masters and a desire to tread their own path.’ SONGLINES MAGAZINE
