The West Kortright Centre, 49 West Kortright Church Road, East Meredith, presents Afrobeat sensations Kaleta & Super Yamba Band Sunday, June 26, at 4 p.m.
Super Yamba Band weaves Afro-funk grooves with raw psychedelic sounds. Singer, guitarist and percussionist Kaleta was a longtime member of Fela Kuti’s band and toured with musical luminaries Lauryn Hill and King Sunny Ade prior to joining Super Yamba Band in 2017. Audience members will hear Kaleta sing in several languages native to West Africa, including Fon, Goun, Yoruba, and Ewe, along with French and Pidgin English, “the official language of Afrobeat.”
This is an outdoor performance; bring your own lawn seating. Masks and/or social distancing are encouraged.
