Luckily there is Bernie’s Lounge, an indefinable band with a subtle sense of festivity. ‘Balkan bounce, Latino grooves, pop sentiment, rock ’n roll, and all this in a fresh jazz spirit.’ (de Volkskrant). Dele Sosimi, keyboard player/arranger of the legendary Fela Kuti, is one of the most active musicians within the Afro Beat scene. The Sicilian trumpeter Roy Paci is mainly known for his ska band Aretuska. DJ Jairzihno plays Afro Latin music.
