Nigeria's top vocal group, the Queens of Lagos, produce joyous music driven by melodies that glide, rhythms that gently massage and harmonies that you can taste. Theirs is an uplifting sound that runs from the super-cool of juju to the infectious grooves of Afrobeat. At the heart of this are vocalists Funmi Olawumi, Funmi Akanbi and Jumoke Alebiosu, who combine effortlessly with their eight-piece band to produce music of astounding power, featuring songs by King Sunny Ade and Fela Kuti alongside age-old Yoruba folkloric songs. A rare treat to catch these legends lives.
