Toby Foyeh and Orchestra Africa

Although based on the music of Nigeria's Yoruba tribe, Toby Foyeh's compositions encompass sounds from around the world. It is a fusion of traditional African music with jazz, rock, pop and Latin rhythms — creating a musical melting pot. This is “Afrijam music”. Foyeh and his Orchestra perform with a range of instruments — everything from the Gangan (“talking drum”) to the Kalimba (“thumb piano”) as well as more modern keyboards and guitars — all accompanied by a chorus of female voices. In the spirit of the oral traditions of the Yoruba, the evening's music will tell many stories.
