SUMMARY:Kaleta & Super Yamba Band
LOCATION:Manny’s
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn’s Kaleta & Super Yamba Band are fronted by Afrobeat 
 and Juju veteran Leon Ligan-Majek a.k.a. Kaleta. The singer/guitarist from
  the West African country of Benin Republic lived his adolescent life in L
 agos\, Nigeria where Afrobeat was born. Kaleta's guitar chops earned him d
 ecades of touring and recording with Fela Kuti\, King Sunny Ade\, Lauryn H
 ill and more. Kaleta got his start in the late 70s performing in church an
 d was soon after picked up by iconic Juju master and world music pioneer K
 ing Sunny Ade. A few years later Fela Kuti came calling. Kaleta would go o
 n to tour the world playing guitar for the King of Afrobeat in his storied
  band Egypt 80 through the 1980s and into the 1990s. Now based in New York
  City\, Kaleta has been leading Super Yamba Band since 2017. Their debut a
 lbum 'Mèdaho\,' which was released by California indie label Ubiquity Rec
 ords\, draws on the group’s shared reverence for the raw\, psychedelic s
 ounds that captivated Kaleta as a music loving kid in 1970s Benin. Mèdaho
  means "big brother"\, "elder" or "teacher" and is dedicated to Kaleta's l
 ate brother Ligan-Ozavino Pascal who introduced him to funk and soul music
  at a very early age. The album was included on Bandcamp's “Best Albums 
 of Summer 2019” list and two of the songs were chosen for the ABC/Hulu s
 eries High Fidelity staring Zoe Kravitz.\n\nKaleta and his band have also 
 erupted onto the stages and video screens of major music festivals and mus
 ic publications across the US. They performed at the historic Apollo Theat
 re in 2019. They even prompted Action Bronson to stop his own show on VICE
 LAND TV just so he could hear more Yamba. They also performed on Adult Swi
 m's Fishcenter Live show in 2019. In 2017 they rocked Paste Magazine’s E
 merging Music Festival in NYC and after that performance Afropop Worldwide
  fell in love with Kaleta\, saying “his James Brown grunts have got to b
 e some of the best in the business!”\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/v
