West African village music

Led by Nigerian master musician, Ken Okulolo, the Nigerian Brothers, top contemporary musicians with deep roots in African folk and highlife music, celebrate the release of their stunning debut album, Songs of the Village. The four -- Ken, who plays guitar and talking drum, Soji Odukobge, guitar and shekere sticks, Lemi Barrow, shekere and hand drum, and Pope Flyne, percussion -- comprise the core of the popular West African Highlife Band. Tonight they unplug and recreate the sweet, lilting sounds of their earliest village memories as they bring West African folk music, "palmwine" tunes, and highlife songs to life with harmonious voices, African guitar stylings, and hand percussion.
