about

This song imagines if Nile Rodgers and Fela Kuti, the two fathers of 70s pioneering dance genres, met up and had a jam. After watching Tony Allen perform at Electric Brixton, bandleader and guitarist Jelly Cleaver realised
the similarities between disco and afrobeat guitar styles, since both genres are rooted in jazz. She brought the bare bones of a song which switched between afrobeat and disco to a band rehearsal, and after hours of jamming, What If Nile Rodgers and Fela Kuti Were Friends was born. Since the band met while jamming afrobeat classics at jams across the South London jazz scene, this song captures the positive energies and vibes of a jam with good friends, and is a tribute to the music legacy of these great musicians.
