‘Tunde’s virtuosity glows’ The Guardian



“Soul-stirring music that could rouse slumbering spirits from the nether world” - Vanguard, Nigeria



Tunde Jegede is a composer, kora player and 21st century Renaissance man who returns to UK with his new super-group, direct from Nigeria, the Art Ensemble of Lagos.



They bring their contemporary songs and evocative Malian vocals that speak directly to the heart and are guaranteed to uplift the spirit. Their joyful set of celebratory songs and soulful ballads fuse traditional African, jazz, afro-beat and world music to create an authentic expression of contemporary Africa.
