Step into a soundstorm of pure rhythm with Abass Dodoo’s electrifying new collective, Okailey, where the heartbeat of Ghana meets a fearless musical revolution!

The Sound of Transformation
Okailey weaves a rich blend of West African percussion, jazzy improvisation, and blazing rock influences into something truly magical. It’s music that jumps off the stage and grabs your spirit!

Instruments Tell Stories
Traditional drums, saxophones, violins, and ancestral rhythms collide in masterfully crafted polyrhythms that pulse with life.

Legends, Reborn
Okailey doesn’t just play songs, they reinvent them. Imagine Ginger Baker classics re-birthed with an Afro-High Life twist that will leave you stunned.

Rooted in Legacy
The name honors Abass’ grandmother, whose soulful lullabies sparked his journey in music. Her essence lives in every beat.

A Joyful Movement
This is more than a band. It’s a fusion of joy, spontaneity, and unity spreading love and energy across cultures and continents. Let Okailey sweep you into a whirlwind of passion and rhythm. It’s an experience that lingers long after the last note.

Support on the night comes from Peruvian composer, music educator, guitarist / multi-instrumentalist and leading proponent of the Latin music in the UK Alexys Alfaro. With his background in folk music and modern rhythms, Alexys has created a highly successful blend of Latin rhythms from latin funk, flamenco, Afro-Peruvian, tropical, chicha, cumbia, Andean folk and jazz fusion. His sound features melodic Latin guitar lines set with Latin percussion, mixed with contemporary rhythms and loop pedals.

Jamboree food option: Our ‘Zer’ kitchen is open from 5pm serving delicious Middle Eastern fusion food for you to enjoy a meal/snack if you wish!
