Live at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms: The Cavemen.
Presented by Georgia Mann, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
The Cavemen. (Kingsley Okorie and Benjamin James).
Before there was Afrobeat there was highlife – a joyful, good-times Ghanaian musical style that took on a new gloss in 1960s Nigeria. Praised for their ‘bewitching, colourful and easy-listening grooves’, Nigerian sensations Kingsley Okorie and Benjamin James bring their distinctive brand of ‘highlife fusion’ to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms. Blending Igbo highlife – all bright horns, plucked guitar riffs and pulsing percussion – with jazz and soul, the brothers launched their careers with the influential 2020 album ROOTS (recorded in their living room) and have since collaborated with everyone from Wizkid to Angélique Kidjo and Davido.
There will be no interval.
