The Sacred Funk 4tet play ancient, spiritual music that has journeyed from West Africa to the rest of the world.
Musicians Lekan Babalola -Percussion, Kate Luxmoore - clarinet and bass clarinet, Reuben Reynolds - guitars and Josh Vadiveloo- Bass, bring their combination of musical experiences and influences to create a vast range of sounds and grooves that will transport you across the African Diaspora, from jazz, funk, reggae, and folk to classical, son, rumba and highlife!
'Sounds of Highlife' explores the sounds of West Africa by reinterpreting songs by High Life musicians such as Ambrose Campbell, E.T. Mensah, and Victor Olaiya.
Highlife is a music genre that started in present day Ghana in the 19th Century. It’s mix of African polyrhythms with melodies of western jazz, created a feel-good music that influenced the afrobeat and afrobeats that we hear today.
