A 13-piece ensemble from New York City, Zozo Afrobeat features musicians from around the world and is led by African music luminary Kaleta. Born in the Republic of Benin and raised in Nigeria, Kaleta grew up recording and performing with legendary Nigerian musicians Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade. After moving to the U.S., Kaleta toured with Femi Kuti and most recently with Lauryn Hill. \r\n\r\nWith Zozo Afrobeat, Kaletas music pays homage to the greats, and yet has its own distinctive sound and energy. Like Fela Kuti, who used his music to challenge a corrupt Nigerian government, Kaleta has written songs that are socially and politically provocative. At the same time, his lyrics reflect a keen sense of humor and a message of hope. On Zozo Afrobeats 2007 release, Country of Guns, Kaleta scatters pop-culture references and marvels of a country with 250 million people and 250 billion guns. On other songs, Kaleta sings in Yoruba, Goan, Fon, and French. \r\n\r\nOn stage, Kaleta displays remarkable energy  singing, dancing, and playing guitar and percussion. The band responds accordingly, delivering cascades of horns, hypnotic Benino-Nigerian rhythms, and captivating solos. Zozo Afrobeat has played at the Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival, the Brooklyn Museum, and various clubs in the New York area. \r\n\r\nZozo is:\r\nKaleta (Leon Ligan-Majek): composer, lead vocal, guitar, percussion, leader  Rep. of Benin+Nigeria\r\nBenon Lipowski : guitars  Poland\r\nBrett Leghorn: trombone, vocals  USA\r\nDavid Aaron: tenor saxophone, vocals  Canada\r\nJeremy King: congas/percussion  USA\r\nDave Ahl: keyboards, band director  USA\r\nJeremy Kay: bass guitar  USA\r\nRodney Siau: trumpet, shekere, vocals  USA\r\nBrett Gregory: baritone saxophone  USA\r\nGloria Osaghae: vocals, shekere, claves Nigeria\r\nMai Lingani: vocals  Burkina Faso", "musiccaps_names": "[\"Afrobeat\", \"Music\"]", "musiccaps_aspects": "[\"afrobeat\", \"electric guitar\", \"bass guitar\", \"keyboard\", \"brass\", \"saxophone\", \"acoustic drums\", \"percussion\", \"vibrant\", \"colorful\", \"playful\", \"upbeat\"]", "musiccaps_author": "9", "youtube_id": "IpYw4nKPx5o", "musiccaps_rowid": 1944}
