Renowned jazz, afrobeat, dance and avant-gardé musician Bukky Leo and his Afrobeat Quartet, supported by reggae and high life ace Planetman.

Bukky grew up in Lagos Nigeria, where he was spotted practising his first saxophone by the original afro-beat drummer Tony Allen. He went on to play with the great Fela Kuti, developing his distinct style of jazz and afrobeat, and became one of the forerunners of the acid jazz scene. His band tonight features the legendary Kofi Adu of the highlife internationals on drums, the irrepressible Dennis Davies of Osibisa and Black Egypt on bass, and the unique Dan Waldman of the roots and groove fraternity on guitar and effects.

Support on the night comes from Planetman, blending highlife guitars and reggae with earnest folk and brightly soulful vocals. A founding member of iconic London venue Passing Clouds, his monthly Little Blue Ball parties spanned over a decade, legendary for their eclectic mix of music, people and sky-high vibes.
