About Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra

Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra, led by British-Nigerian musician Dele Sosimi, is a vital force in contemporary Afrobeat, expertly bridging the genre's rich heritage with modern innovation. Born in London in 1963 to Yoruba parents, Sosimi's musical journey is deeply rooted in Nigeria’s vibrant Afrobeat tradition. Before founding his own ensemble, he played a key role as keyboardist and musical director for Afrobeat pioneers Fela Kuti’s Egypt 80 and Femi Kuti’s Positive Force, contributing significantly to their groundbreaking sounds.

Since establishing the Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra, he has crafted a distinctive style that fuses traditional Afrobeat rhythms with elements of funk, jazz, and soul. This approach shines through albums like "Turbulent Times" (2009) and "You No Fit Touch Am" (2014), where intricate polyrhythms and socially conscious lyrics—often delivered in both English and Yoruba—underscore his commitment to the genre’s political and cultural roots.

The orchestra is renowned for electrifying live performances that captivate international audiences, helping to expand Afrobeat’s global reach while preserving its revolutionary spirit. Through dynamic recordings and enduring stage presence, Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra continues to inspire a new generation of music lovers, reaffirming the timeless relevance and evolving future of Afrobeat.
