Originally hailing from the West End hit musical Fela! The Fontanelles are the standard bearers of UK Afro-beat.
Afro-beat sensation The Fontanelles enjoy a two night residency at Hideaway!"A terrific 12-piece band who intensify the music's seductively repetitive rhythms" The Independent
"The energy these guys can muster is truly thrilling... they've got pace, verve and veracity. Plus a wealth of strong material'" Blues and Soul
Originally formed to be the onstage band for the London run of Fela! The Musical, the band's natural chemistry was such that they instinctively continued performing together when the show ended. They took the energy of the stage show and started working on original material, adding reggae, Ethio-jazz and Ska influences to the Afrobeat source. The Fontanelles sound is truly their own, with their incandescent live shows a focal point for their unique energy.
