Kaleta.\n\nThe singer/guitarist from the We st African country of Benin Republic lived his adolescent life in Lagos\ , Nigeria where Afrobeat was born. Kaleta's guitar chops earned him deca des of touring and recording with Fela Kuti\, King Sunny Ade\, Lauryn Hi ll and more.\n\nKaleta got his start in the late 70s performing in churc h and was soon after picked up by iconic Juju master and world music pio neer King Sunny Ade. A few years later Fela Kuti came calling. Kaleta wo uld go on to tour the world playing guitar for the King of Afrobeat in h is storied band Egypt 80 through the 1980s and into the 1990s.\n\nNow ba sed in New York City\, Kaleta has been leading Super Yamba Band since 20 17. Their debut album "Mèdaho\," which was released by California indie label Ubiquity Records\, draws on the group’s shared reverence for th e raw\, psychedelic sounds that captivated Kaleta as a music loving kid in 1970s Benin. Mèdaho means "big brother\," "elder" or "teacher" and i s dedicated to Kaleta's late brother Ligan-Ozavino Pascal who introduced him to funk and soul music at a very early age. The album was included on Bandcamp’s “Best Albums of Summer 2019” list and two of the son gs were chosen for the ABC/Hulu series High Fidelity staring Zoe Kravitz .\n\nKaleta and his band have also erupted onto the stages and video scr eens of major music festivals and music publications across the US. They performed at the historic Apollo Theatre in 2019. They even prompted Ac tion Bronson to stop his own show on VICELAND TV just so he could hear m ore Yamba. They also performed on Adult Swim’s Fishcenter Live show in 2019. In 2017 they rocked Paste Magazine’s Emerging Music Festival in NYC and after that performance Afropop Worldwide fell in love with Kale ta\, saying “his James Brown grunts have got to be some of the best in the business!”\n\nCovid-19 Protocols:\n\nWe are very excited to be ho sting live music shows again in our listening room.
