FOWOKAN
Pizza Express Live Holborn, WC1V 6LF , [Venue Details]Legendary drummer, Sam Kelly (Cymande) brings his extraordinary talent and passion to the stage, blending the best of reggae, R&B, soul, jazz, and funk. With his band FOWOKAN, he'll have you grooving to timeless Bob Marley classics and a mix of electrifying reggae hits.
FOWOKAN was formed in 2009 by internationally acclaimed, Jamaican-born drummer, Sam Kelly – a highly respected musician across different styles of music, including reggae, R&B, soul, jazz and funk.
In the early 70’s, Sam joined his very first band, “Cymande” which is currently enjoying renewed success as they return to the World music scene. Although not well known in the UK in the early 70’s, Cymande successfully toured in the USA to promote 3 albums which were released on the Janus label, a subsidiary of Chess records. Cymande’s music has retained a cult following over the years and, even today, the name is still well known by a new generation of successful garage, hip-hop and rap artists who have sampled several of the original tracks.
It is this connection with Cymande that has shaped and established the style of reggae that is so familiar to FOWOKAN supporters. The performance set list includes some of the Cymande hits, some Bob Marley classics and a range of reggae favourites.
