Jibbering is proud to present Yaaba Funk, the hottest and tightest Afrofunk band this side of Accra! What better way to shake out those winter blues, eh?

Yaaba Funk, a product of Brixton’s rich cultural casserole, play a unique mix of classic 70’s Ghanaian Hi-Life and hard-hitting funk, cut with a strong dose of ‘Afro-broken-beat’ and more than a hint of Dub.

Their live shows are renowned for raw energy, great musicianship and a visually arresting style. Watching and dancing to Yaaba Funk is a truly exhilarating experience which is guaranteed to leave you exhausted- just ask anyone that caught them on the Main Stage at Shambala Festival last year!

As always, you can expect the freshest roots, hip hop, global grooves n funk from the inimitable Jibbering DJs.

The first Jibbering Session of 2009 is definitely one not to be missed!! We hope to see ya all there.
