Abass Dodoo’s Tribute to Ginger Baker

A tribute concert in London honouring the drummer Ginger Baker, presented by Abass Dodoo's Tribute to Ginger Baker at SJQ, a venue for concerts and shows in the city.

This evening is a tribute to Ginger Baker, the English drummer who co-founded the rock trio Cream with Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton in 1966, and who later worked with Blind Faith, Ginger Baker's Air Force and Africa-inspired projects in Nigeria and beyond. The performance is a homage rather than a appearance by Baker himself, and the project is presented under the name Abass Dodoo's Tribute to Ginger Baker.

Baker's career spanned jazz, blues and rock, and he is widely credited with bringing polyrhythmic and African percussion influences into British rock drumming. The tribute builds on that lineage, placing the drum-led music of Baker at the centre of the evening.

SJQ hosts concerts and shows across London, and the evening suits listeners interested in the drumming and rhythmic traditions that shaped Baker's work. Visitors looking for a focused evening of percussion-driven music will find the event's subject a clear guide to what to expect.
