Free entry, every Saturday!

Conguero Yamikani Soko and his orchestra are a rising Afro-Diasporic Jazz fusion ensemble in Leeds. Playing a vast repertoire of originals in the tradition Cu-Bop, Rumba, Calypso and Spiritual Jazz. While also playing the works of Chano Pozo, Max Roach and Mongo Santamaria. Yamikani not only respects the traditions to come out of the Afro-Diaspora but also infuses the music with his own Malawian heritage and Be-Bop back ground. Creating an energetic blend of rhythmic and energetic music.
