The Fontanelles
Last Show: Friday 26 th January 2018
PizzaExpress Live (Holborn)
Formed in London in 2011, The Fontanelles have been inventively blurring the lines between Jazzy Afrobeat, African grooves and Dub ever since. Renowned for their infectious live energy and shows, the 10-piece group stay true to their core sound of Fela Kuti-style afrobeat (honed while acting as the onstage band for the National Theatre’s sellout transfer of Fela!), while bringing in sounds from Ethiopia, Minimalist textures, sun-drenched dub and righteous horn-led dancefloor grooves. As an exclusive the band will performing new material from their new EP that came out in early 2017.
