A dancefloor-quaking fusion of live African rhythms, mind-expanding electronics, and deep, bass-driven grooves, Afriquoi are an unstoppable force in the global music scene. This UK-based collective brings together master musicians weaving together Gambian kora, Congolese guitar and Mandinka percussion styles with electronic music drawing on house, garage, disco, soul + jungle to create something entirely unique.
Afriquoi is a powerhouse of high-energy performances, uplifting melodies, and irresistibly infectious beats with every musician a band leader in their own right. With members ranging in age across 3 decades, originating from Africa, the Caribbean and the UK, Afriquoi is true fusion music in the best sense of the word, bringing together a vast depth of musical knowledge, culture and life experience.
Formed in 2011 out of London’s cultural melting pot, they have established a cult global fanbase, loved by fans both of African and electronic music. Their afro house classic ‘Kudaushe’ has become an established favourite in clubs all over the world, and they have toured all over Europe, with huge crowds singing along to their songs on major stages at Glastonbury, WOMAD, Dimensions, Fusion, Boomtown, Shambala, Bestival, Secret Garden Party and the London 2012 Olympics.
