Kobby Taylor, multi award winning record producer, composer, and performer with ENDOFLEVELBADDIE and Middle Child pays tribute to his Ghanaian grandfather, Afrobeat legend Ebo Taylor with live music from his re-mix album The Torch.
The show centres around a piece of gig theatre that can only be described as a live concept album on stage. Expect everything from RnB remixes, hip hop to modern afro-beat. Special guests include Stephanie Halsey (harpist), Steve Cobby (producer, musician, composer, and best known for being
part of Fila Brazillia), Kev La Kat (multi-instrumentalist, producer and remixer from Love Our Records) and Wai Wan (whose single Goddess was ranked among the all-time top 20 Nu-Jazz records on Worldwide FM)
