A Friday night with renowned jazz, afrobeat, dance and avant-gardé musician Bukky Leo and his quartet at Jamboree!

Growing up in Lagos Nigeria, Bukky was spotted practising his first saxophone by the original afro-beat drummer Tony Allen. Immediately ushered into Tony?s newly formed band. Bukky went on to play with the great Fela Kuti, where the seeds of afrobeat were being sown. After sometime in the band and under the influence of Tony Allen, Bukky decided to follow his own journey with his distinct style of jazz and a fro-beat, haeding to London where he became one of the forerunners of the acid jazz scene.  His first release 'Rejoice in Righteousness' was at the heart of the acid jazz world, going straight to number one in the rhythm and blues, dance and jazz charts, while his follow up album, 'River Nile', led to him to being nominated for the US African Music Awards in New York.
