Lagos Roots at the HopMonk Tavern

Saturday, June 3, 2017

Fronted by Geoffrey Omadhebo (Sonny Okosuns, One World), this 15-piece Afrobeat Orchestra brings it back, straight to 1970’s West Africa. Lagos Roots presents a version of unfiltered, deeply-grooved Nigerian/ WestCoast Afrobeat that follows a direct path to the beginnings of the genre. The band’s performances feature a healthy blend of Fela Kuti & Africa 70 classic repertoire with Omadhebo’s own politically charged compositions, and in classical afrobeat fashion, the music speaks for itself.
