Event Description

In the world of music, Wunmi is a one-off, an artist that effortlessly joins the dots between Nigeria’s Youruba and Afrobeat heritage, New York’s house pedigree and London’s jazz, broken beat and classic street soul sounds.

The enduring image from Wunmi’s early years in music was in summer 1986 as the dancer silhouetted in SOUL II SOUL’s ‘Back To Life’ video. In the late ‘90s, she was teaming up with KENNY ‘DOPE’ GONZALES and LOUIE VEGA for MASTERS AT WORK classic 1998 re-work of Fela Kuti’s ‘Expensive Sh*t’, ‘M.A.W. Expensive (Tribute To Fela)’ and the equally strong follow-ups, ‘Ekabo’ and ‘Time Is Now’.

On-stage, Wunmi is a revelation. The Wunmi stage show has become known for its explosive energy with her trademark outfits, hi-octane dance moves, a super-tight band and an infectious spirit that draws in crowds wherever she plays. This is not African music, world music or any other genre dreamt up by the marketing men. This is Wunmi’s world and there is nothing else quite like it.
