Dele Sosimi - The Confluence LP '2024

Tracks list

Dele Sosimi, the UK based Afrobeat ambassador, former band member of Fela
Kuti’s Egypt 80 and co-founder with Femi Kuti of the Positive Force
finally unleashes his full debut album with The Estuary 21 (masterminded by
British musician Sam Duckworth, aka Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly) entitled The
Confluence LP.

Having released The Confluence EP together early last year, Dele and
Sam’s new record seeks pastures new exploring soul, jazz,
r’n’b, funk and of course Afrobeat for an eccentric and
life-affirming record brimming with feelings of freedom and possiblity.

Dele and Sam were introduced at Felabration 2012, the annual commemoration of
the music of Fela Kuti in Lagos, Nigeria. Nearly ten years passed before the two
musicians connected in Sam’s hometown of Southend-On-Sea (UK) in a
post-lockdown creative boom, recording
the first EP over a burst of week-long sessions in 2021.

After the Confluence EP was released to much fanfare in early 2023, the two
musicians realised that there was still plenty to put to tape, creativity was
still oozing and thus the initial idea of a few tracks soon led to the idea of a
fully-fledged album project.
