A Night of Tracy Chapman with Yemi Bolatiwa

A tribute evening in which Yemi Bolatiwa performs songs by Tracy Chapman with a full band, in a London venue focused on R&B and soul. The event is not affiliated with Tracy Chapman, who will not perform.

This is a live tribute to the music of Tracy Chapman, the American singer-songwriter whose self-titled debut album appeared in 1988 and won a Grammy. Yemi Bolatiwa leads the show with a full band, singing material associated with Chapman's catalogue, including the songs Fast Car, Talkin''bout a Revolution, Baby Can I Hold You and Give Me One Reason.

The programme is presented as a homage rather than a performance by the original artist, and the organisers state plainly that Tracy Chapman is not involved and will not appear. The material also notes that the band is from Manchester and describes the evening as a celebration of 1980s-style material, though it is performed by the current line-up rather than by Chapman.

Soul Mama Angel is a venue at Angel Central in Parkfield Street, London, which mainly hosts concerts with a focus on R&B and soul. The evening suits listeners who want to hear Chapman's songs performed live by another artist.
