Better known for her work with Bugz In The Attic, Roy Ayers and Soul II Soul, Wunmi takes centre stage with her full band at Out of Africa; a profound and infectious showcase of the best in cutting-edge, contemporary African music.

Supporting our main act is nu-afro-jazz-dub songstress FAE SIMON, whose warm voice and present-day lyrics are reminiscent of Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald.

The night opens with DJ ILKA (BBC Africa on your street) and closes with DJ FREESTYLE (Voice of Africa radio) who’ll have you feasting on an Afropean sound plate of kwaito, drum ‘n’ bass, tassou, funk, coupé décalé, R ‘n’ B, soukous, jazz, high life, broken beat, afrobeat and much more.
