Event Navigation
Afrospot Allstars are the UK’s number 1 interpreter of the joyous sounds of West African highlife music — the first indigenous music of the region to incorporate western instruments, and popular since the turn of the 20th century. The 10-piece Afrospot sound is a fusionary experience — also taking in Agbaja — traditional music and dance from the Ewe tribe (Togo, Ghana & Benin), and a touch of reggae.
The band is led by the charismatic Kodjovi Kush from Togo who runs Afrospot events at various venues in the capital as a platform for African music and culture. In his career he has worked with and played alongside greats such as Tony Allen, Seun Kuti, Finley Quaye, Cheikh Lo, Johnny Clarke, Cornel Campbell to name but a few. Afrospot Allstars also boasts high calibre musicians from bands such as Ibile, Soothsayers, Osibisa and Family Atlantica.
