AFRO FUNKE' LIVE PRESENTS

live performance: WUNMI (Nigeria)
Wunmi is famed for her Nu Yorican Afro-house workouts with Masters at Work (Kenny Gonzalez & Louie Vega), her Funki Dred stylizings with Soul II Soul, and as an icon of London Underground Club Culture and dancefloors worldwide. Wunmi is a one-off, on-stage, Wunmi is a revelation. The Wunmistage show is known for its explosive energy, hi-octane dance moves, a super-tight band and an infectious spirit that draws in crowds. She has performed with and alongside African music legends such as Manu Dibango, Cheikh Lo, Les Nubian, Baaba Maal, Femi Kuti, Tony Allen & Osunlade jazz legends like Roy Ayers, Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis. This is not just African music, this is Wunmi’s world and there is nothing else quite like it.
