“Special… A really great new track he’s got out on Wah Wah 45s.” – Gilles Peterson (BBC 6 Music)

“Something special.. an exclusive first play of a brand new single from the Afrobeat legend Dele Sosimi.” – Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio 2)

“A true master of the form.” – Clash Magazine

“Dele Sosimi.. A total music legend!” – Cerys Matthews (BBC 6 Music)

Dele Sosimi, the Nigerian-British Afrobeat Ambassador, Musician and Educator, has been at the heart of the global Afrobeat scene since relocating to the UK in December 1995. Having started his musical career with Fela Kuti’s Egypt 80 band in his teens, he then teamed up with childhood friend Fela’s son Femi Kuti (back in the late eighties) to kick start the Positive Force – touring, recording and performing worldwide.

Over forty years later, he remains a tireless ambassador for the unique musical movement all over the world. His blend of complex funk grooves, traditional Nigerian music, African percussion and an underlying sense of jazz combines with his virtuoso keyboard skills and rhythmic singing to make him one of the most respected Afrobeat authorities of his era.
