LAGOS THURSDAYS
The fastest city in Africa, Lagos despises sluggishness and so does the music of Olufemi Koya and his
African beats band. The nine – piece outfit is so hot you can’t touch them, but you can feel them!
Lagos Thursdays (The new yam festival) brings you the music of Olufemi Koya – Nigerian Singer and
Saxophonist based in Johannesburg with his music style Highlife, Afrobeat and Jazz. Olufemi sees
himself as part of the new Africa on the move; where home is not just a place but multiplicity of
places and influences.
Olufemi Koya has performed and worked with Baba Maal, Angelique Kidjo, Yvonne ChakaChaka,
Pops Mohamed, Simphiwe Dana, Zonke among others. He has also shared a stage with Salife Keita,
King Sunny Ade, Youssou N’dou, Habib Keita and many more.
Join Olufemi Koya’s African Beats band on Thursday the 2 nd February 2023 at the Untitled Basement
