Musician

I am a songwriter and composer based in North London, where I have been involved in the music scene of this global city since my days at the African and South American arts centre Jenako Arts in the early 80s. That was where I introduced London to Capoeira music by bringing over a master from Brazil, and promoted interest in the Kora by bringing Sanjali Jobarteh here from Senegal. We also provided some of the acts for the first Womad festivals, the Nimes festival of Street Music and other events. If you were in London in the 80s you will remember all the free music festivals that used to happen in parks around London. Jenako Arts brought Arrow (Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot) to the UK, as well as Ruben Blades, Yemaya and others. It was also where I worked closely with the Goan jazz guitarist Amancio D'Silva and the leader of Orchestra Jazira, Folo Graff - a collaboration that lasted many years.
