About this Event

Following a sellout for the first event in November, this is the second in our series of informal Sunday afternoon sessions showcasing diverse grooves and beats from around the world.

Curated by Senegal’s Samba Sene, with djembe drummers, singers and dancers. Special guests include Jules Sow on kora, a tribute to our much missed brother, Bhundu Boy Rise Kagona by Andy Cooke with dancers Raquel and Betty plus this month's featured band Edinburgh legends, Makossa.

Doors: 5.15pm

Unreserved seating, standing and dancing.

Accompanied children welcome. Children under 2 are free, all others should be paid for at the concession rate.

Please note - Due to its basement location, The Jazz Bar is only accessible via 2 flights of stairs, so is not suitable for wheelchair users

One love - look forward to seeing you all!
