The Afrobeats Orchestra

The Afrobeats Orchestra is a jazz-genre ensemble of twelve musicians that performs afrobeats and amapiano with live strings, horns, a rhythm section and vocalists. This London concert brings its repertoire to The Jazz Cafe.

The Afrobeats Orchestra is a twelve-piece ensemble that draws on afrobeats and amapiano. Its line-up unites musicians from the African diaspora and the UK, and the members'credits include work with Wizkid, Burna Boy and Tems. The project was founded by Mahlon Rhamie, who also serves as its show director and curates the programme.

On stage, the ensemble combines live strings and horns with a driving rhythm section and standout vocalists. The repertoire centres on the biggest hits of afrobeats and amapiano, performed by the group as a full orchestra.

The Jazz Cafe is a venue at 5 Parkway in London that mainly hosts concerts, with jazz at the heart of its musical offering. The evening suits those who want to hear popular afrobeats and amapiano material played by a large ensemble of strings, horns and rhythm.
