The Baoku Moses Image Afro-Beat Band is a unique, dynamic and energetic band. Founded in 2005 by front-man Baoku Moses. This Cincinnati based band is comprised of talented musicians who come from a world-wide influence of music and cultural backgrounds. Consisting of up to 10 members at a time, the band is able to calibrate their own unique sound by allowing all their influences to play out in their own distinctive style of music known as Afro-Beat. Baoku, a Yoruba native of Nigeria and a professional African drummer and performing artist, started his Afro-Beat career in 1997, shortly after the passing of Afro-Beat legend Fela Kuti. Inspired by his work and believing firmly in the power of music, Baoku and The Image Afro-Beat Band hopes to build an appreciation for cultural diversity and respect for life as they continue to contribute to making the world a more peaceful and respectful place in which to live.
