Ebo Taylor + Konkoma + FOKN Bois + Yabba Funk

Rita Ray of BBC World Service and Max Reinhardt of Radio 3's Late Junction host this highly promising 'Afriparty' benefit for musicologist John Collins, killed by floods in Ghana, and roots journalist John Lusk, who suffered a major stroke. Seventy-five-year-old Ghanaian Afrobeat composer and guitarist Taylor fuses funk, jazz and Highlife in the headline spot. Plus Afro-funk outfit Konkoma, Afro-pop duo FOKN Bois (author of the world's first Pidgen musical) and a funk freakout from 11-piece YF.
