Saxophonist Femi Koya 's Live at The Chairman
Jazzing up African tales, Femi Koya Afrobeat saxophonist releases his new album, Village Afrobeat, and presents it live on a national tour. Next stops: Durban.
Music composer and performer, versatile saxophonist and dynamic vocalist, Femi Koya released his third album entitled Village Afrobeat (Femzee Productions, 2018) on 20th April.
Born in Nigeria and based in South Africa, Femi Koya is the new face of the African Renaissance. He combines West African highlife and jazz, South African Sophiatown with nostalgic Afrobeat root sounds and his music is a rich blend of deep and sultry Afrobeat and contemporary groove.
"I believe that Africa will have its true homecoming when people see themselves as first and foremost African. Until then I will continue to make music suggestive of this homecoming and what the future holds for Africans united. It is our destiny", says Femi Koya.
