Musician and composer Dele Sosimi is one of our most prominent contemporary ambassadors and mediators of Afrobeat! Ever since the 1980s, when Sosimi performed with Fela Kuti and Femi Kuti, he has been inviting people to dance and express their artistic creativity all over the world. With his impressive musical craftsmanship, he invites musicians and members of the public alike to experience this eclectic combination of suggestion and recreation. On 8th.
