AFRIK BAWANTU MUSIC PROJECT

Students worked off timetable for 3 days to create new music with the band and then performed this music to parents and carers on stage at an evening performance. The Afrik Bawantu band which is led by Afla Sackey, consists of five musicians. Afla is a percussionist, singer and composer; he is originally from Ghana and has lived in London for many years. The music he makes combines the traditional rhythms of Africa with influences from Jazz, Funk, and other styles.  The band have performed at concerts and festivals all over the world, including sets at Glastonbury.
