Young African Art Market (YAAM) is a place where adolescents and young adults from all over the world can come together. For young artists it provides a platform and a place to network.

London Afrobeat Collective takes the musical heritage of the founder of Afrobeat Fela Kuti to the 21st century. The Collective, which has members from Congo, France, England, Italy, Argentina and New Zealand, combines Fela Kuti, Parliament Funkadelic and Frank Zappa to create an addictive sound based on funk, jazz, rock and dub.

The band has a style that cannot be squeezed into a single category. They make party music that appeals to people from all backgrounds.

London Afrobeat Collective will perform at Young African Art Market (YAAM) in Berlin on 3rd May 2019.
