Rotimi & de Afrophonik Crew
Once again, AfroTaino Productions & The Barnes Foundation ignites your Friday night with exciting, world-class music & performing arts. For the past ten years, Rotimi Hundeyin has been touring the globe as musical director with one of his mentors, Afrobeat legend Femi Kuti. His original and eclectic music style is known as Afrophonik Rhythms engages an audience with talent and charm. His band, called Rotimi Hundeyin and De Afrophonik Rhythms Crew hold a powerful stage presence, often performing with a full horn section, drums, percussion, female vocalists, keyboards and several guitars. Growing up in the 1980’s, Nigerian music became a passion. At a young age he excelled at performance, quickly picking up drums, trumpet, saxophone and piano. As a teenager, it became clear that music was to be a way of life for Rotimi, and by his mid-twenties he earned the title of Music Director for The Lagos State (similar to New York) Council for Arts and Culture. It was at this time that he began touring with Femi Kuti (son of legendary Fela Kuti) and The Positive Force. He has shared the stage with some of the world’s top musicians including Hugh Masekela, Roy Hargrove, Erykah Badu, Damian Marley, & Lucky Dube, to name a few. This will definitely be an experience to move your body and your soul!
