About this Event

“Edd Bateman’s in love - and he wants the whole world to know! Summer 2016 sees the launch of Edd Bateman’s West African Love Affair - a band, an album and world tour - and the first mbalax song (“Billahi Walahi”) composed and sung by an Englishman. Scintillating kora and balafon combine with relentless soukous guitar and subtle Senegalese mbalax grooves over a captivating Cameroonian backbeat - and all underpinned by Edd’s pulsating basslines. If this doesn’t get you on your feet, bopping and swaying, after the first four bars, you’re obviously in need of an emergency groove transfusion… Go and share the love with Edd and his amazing West African band this Summer 2016. Because when love calls - you’d better listen”! (©Glyn Phillips - WorldMusic.co.uk)
