FOFOULAH
Thursday
26th May
Tickets £10 in advance - available behind the bar, via Smugglers
Records Shop and online HERE.
(tickets £12 on the door - subject to availability)
"Really
intelligent, infectious and effective ? It's subtle, beckoning with
its toes in the ancestral mud, but this is modern music,
intriguing, well-textured and very likeable." - fRoots
"A bravely
adventurous new fusion band." ****
- The
Guardian
"It's a
steaming concoction featuring swinging guitar and sax riffs driven
by Robert Plant's drummer Dave Smith, who also produces. Fofoulah
don't sound like an African band, they sound like guys versed in
contemporary rock and electronic mash-up with a taste for West
African sabar and talking drums." - Evening Standard
Fofoulah (meaning
"it's there" in Wolof) was formed in London in 2011 and
features Senegalese vocalist, dancer and percussionist Batch Gueye,
Tom Challenger (Red Snapper) on saxophone and keyboards, Phil
Stevenson (Iness Mezel) on guitar, Johnny Brierley (Outhouse
Ruhabi) on bass, drummer Dave Smith (Robert Plant, Juju, Ruhabi)
and Kaw Secka (Ruhabi, Irok) on Sabar drums. With the rhythms of
the Sabar drums - a traditional form of Wolof drumming from Gambia
and Senegal - at its heart, Fofoulah's music has evolved into an
inspired cosmopolitan mélange that also incorporates elements of
electronic music, dub, improvisation and afro-rock. Like the
complex city they live in, Fofoulah's music is shaped and lifted by
diverse sound-worlds and cultures.
