The London Astrobeat Orchestra are a funky, rhythmic, hypnotic, anthemic, uplifting, groovy, percussive, earth-shatteringly tight, live band.
When you consider the afrobeat vibes, that run through all the best Talking Heads albums, it’s both appropriate and correct that this collective of musicians, from West Africa, Europe and beyond should offer this completely unique, razor sharp, liquid funk and jaw-droppingly tight take on the finest of Mr David Byrne & Co’s timeless compositions.
They comprise of the finest West African session musicians, including legendary band leader and bassist Edd Bateman hosting rhythmic influences from Senegal, Guinea Conakry, Mali, Cameroon and Congo.
