With 2019 marking the 50th anniversary of The Beatles final studio album ‘Abbey Road’, London Astrobeat Orchestra return to pay tribute to the seminal album in their own unique Wild West African way. Performing tracks like ‘Come Together’, ‘Octopus’s Garden’ and ‘Here Comes The Sun’ along with many more Beatles favourites. The Fab Four’s style rock’n’roll evolved from America’s deep South where the origins of the Blues travel back to West Africa and predominantly to the Bambara ethnic group from Mali whose descendants were the original Delta Blues men that arrived in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Abbey Road was No. 1 in the album charts for four months so 50 years on it’s time to take these sounds back home to their roots. This will be a historical night of AfroBeatleMania dancing to treasured classics entangled with intricate Malian heritage kora on a backbeat of Afro-Mandingue grooves.
