Kaleta & Super Yamba Band

A veteran of the popular Nigerian music styles Afrobeat and Juju, Leon ‘Kaleta’ Ligan-Majek became the frontman of the Super Yamba Band in 2017, a Brooklyn band that delivers solid and skilfully orchestrated Afro-funk with psychedelic overtones. After taking a few years to perfect their sound, the musicians released Mèdaho in 2019, an electrifying first album that traces the influences of James Brown, El Rego and Fela Kuti. The band locks in and sets the bar high for excitement with an abundance of percussion, strings, keyboards and soulful horns, in a musical recipe that is always a groovy and feverish experience.
