Legendary Sydney guitarist Arne Hanna (Jackie Orszaczky, Max Q) is back with The Felas, a 14 piece orchestra bringing the joy and power of Afrobeat to cure all ills. Featuring the music of Fela Kuti, Tony Allen &amp; more, The Felas are a die-hard group of evangelists who honour and spread the infectious energy and grooves of Afrobeat. Dense and complex rhythm partners with a pumping horn section to create a relentless and joyous beat that hearts, hips and feet cannot resist.
Afrobeat is an inclusive, unifying force. It&#39;s revelatory, revolutionary and inspiring – a celebration of diversity, connection to the music and to each other. Truly a tonic for the times.
