We are pleased to announce we are starting a new journey in this highly renowned place thats is known as Momo after our time at the exclusive and eclectic Double Club.
The band invited to perform and which is now part of Manifesto’s portfolio, is Jally Kebba Susso - Manding Sabu, a 5 member group that celebrates the GRIOT tradition. They are West African poets and wandering musicians. Popularly known as praise singers and storytellers, this band is keeping an exceptional African tradition alive.
Jally Kebba Susso is a Griot, and the Susso family goes way back in time as they represent a dynasty of traditional oral historians passed through generations. Kyasi Guitarist, Alua Percussion, Karl a bass player and Drea a lover of all things creative is a poet and singer.
Jally Kebba Susso - Manding Sabu ‘s ultimate goal is to “expand the boundaries of the griot tradition whilst keeping its heart and soul intact”.
This will be a tremendously enjoyable evening that should appeal to anyone looking to experience one of the most ‘infectiously danceable forms of music in the world!’
Joining them will be resident DJ’s spinning music from a variety of African genres. Alberto Tavares opens the evening with his mellow eclectic mix on the decks. Later in the evening DJ Todd Hart hits the turntables with his inimitable, sassy, and sexy spin on dance African style. Manifesto has invited the renowned Mozambique DJ Baga who is very well known for his sets in Lisbon, Portugal.
Manifesto Acoustic is a concept whereby live music, afro-beats and DJ sessions intertwine. Manifesto team, in collaboration with Momo, one of the hippest, vibrant and eclectic clubs in London, look forward to seeing you.
