The Compozers — Encore Sessions (Afrobeats), Londres, 2022

A filmed live session by British collective The Compozers, devoted to afrobeats, released in 2022 as part of their “Encore Sessions” series. Formed in London, these musicians of West African heritage made their name with instrumental reworkings of afrobeats and afropop hits, played as a band with keys, bass, guitar and drums. In this recording, the group runs through several numbers live, showcasing the interplay and groove science that built their reputation on YouTube and on stage, notably backing major artists of the African scene. Far from a simple mix, this performance is a genuine live interpretation, carried by the group’s collective virtuosity. For fans of African music, afrobeats and instrumental music, this Encore Session is a representative document of the Compozers’ craft and of the reach of afrobeats within the London diaspora. A filmed concert that embodies the vitality of a scene where instrumental virtuosity meets African popular culture.
