Afrolight by AfriCali
Between rhythm and spirituality you can find the magic.
Afrolight ventures back to Abbey Road with Fela Kuti, Ginger Baker, Tony Allen and Sandra Izsadore for those Ariwo, Upside Down vibes and sounds.
With the awakening of new leadership in Africa, South America and the world, Africali celebrates change and how far we've come in surviving conflicts, natural disasters and freeing the world from those who enslave it for their own gain.
Eyezon delivers the vocals and Shaun Elley the drums, but the release also features the "Mother of Afrobeat", Fela Kuti's mentor and lover, Sandra Izsadore, alongside Byron Mcneish, known for his work with Akon, Snoop Dogg, Migos, Elton John and more.
The album is dedicated to Naresh Michael (R.I.P.), collaborator on 'One Thousand Songs' and 'Cacophony'.
Music needs a message, and Afrolight has several callings for you to discover.
