September 2012: Africa Express rolls out across Britain.
Africa Express began with a trip to Mali in 2006 and has since bought together some of the best musicians from around the world. Over the course of three more trips to Africa and a series of acclaimed concerts in Britain, France, Spain and Nigeria, Africa Express has evolved into what one national newspaper has called “the most revolutionary force in popular music in two decades”.
AFRICA EXPRESS SOUND SYSTEM were nominated for ‘Best Headline Act’ by the UK festival awards following their headline set at Standon Calling festival.
Bringing the two day festival to a close, our uniquely experimental set-up featured a star line up of African singers and MCs including Baloji, M3NSA and Fatoumatou Diawara along with UK based special guests Jon McClure (Reverend and the Makers), soul sensation Terri Walker and firecracker rappers Tor Cesay & Mic Righteous.
