San Francisco African Band 2

This San Francisco African Band is comprised of a master musician and his brothers. They are among the few top contemporary Nigerian musicians with deep roots in African folk and highlife music.

They put together their memories of traditional West African folk music, ‘palm-wine’ tunes, and highlife songs, bringing them to life with their harmonious voices, African guitar stylings, and hand percussion instruments.

Together, this San Francisco African Band recreates the sweet, lilting sounds of their earliest village memories. This gentle but rhythmic music is a special treat for those who seek an authentic African sound.

“Nigerian Highlife music was originally created by those who wanted to rise above the pain and suffering… to transcend all evils.”
