Description

Percussion virtuoso Ben Aylon gained national recognition in Senegal after appearing on popular TV shows with his solo performance "One Man Tribe". Inspired by the Senegalese tradition, and under the guidance of Doudou and Aly Ndiaye Rose, Ben created an innovative style and hybrid drumming technique, which capsules the massive sound of a tribe of drummers into a powerful solo performance on a ten-piece Senegalese drum set. His popularity in Senegal led to meetings and collaborations with major artists in West Africa like Cheikh Lo and Youssou Ndour. Through these collaborations, he produced his debut album, "Xalam," presenting his compositions on the Senegalese string instrument, the ?Xalam?. Ben comes to the Club on July 10th for a special show.

Description

The most celebrated live music venue in Europe and one of the most famous in the world. Our longevity is due to an open minded music policy which has seen many different musical styles performed at this venue over It's long history.

Live music began at 100 Oxford Street on 24th October 1942. It was first played at Mack's restaurant (as it was then known) when British jazz drummer Victor Feldman's father hired the venue on a regular Sunday night to showcase the talents of his jazz loving sons and their band. The band consisted of Victor and his two brothers Robert on clarinet and Monty on accordion. They were joined by legendary British saxophonist Jimmy Skidmore for the opening night.
