AFRO JAZZ the hidden GEM of Nigerian music & it's RISE, Afro Jazz Fest London | Lagos Meets London

This week on Lagos Meets London, we spotlight one of Nigeria’s most soulful and powerful sub-genres ''Afro Jazz''

We had the honour of hosting one of the pioneers of AFRO JAZZ Koye Sax who has been at the forefront of pushing this sound beyond Nigeria and into the global stage.

In this episode, Koye shares the journey of crafting Afro Jazz, keeping its roots deeply Nigerian while making it accessible to audiences worldwide.

He also talks about Afro Jazz Fest, a festival he founded to celebrate and export this genre. With the next edition happening right here in London on October 5th, this is more than a concert, it’s a cultural experience you don’t want to miss.

We dive into:

🎷 How Afro Jazz blends tradition and lost craft with modernity

🌍 Why taking Afro Jazz to cities like London, Kenya, New Orleans, and South Africa matters

🎶 The vision behind Afro Jazz Fest and its future

🇳🇬 Why exporting all parts of Nigerian culture and not just Afrobeats is so important.

Afro Jazz isn’t just music it’s a cultural bridge and here at Lagos Meets London, we’re all about amplifying stories like this, showing the world the richness and diversity of Nigerian creativity.
