African Funk Fundraiser in Wrington Saturday June 9th, 2018 (Doors open 7-30) 8.00-11.30pm Wrington Memorial Hall Tickets priced at £10 from ‘Amors Store’ Wrington or contact Sandie at shargreaves@live.co.uk If you find yourself in the midst of West Africa instead of North Somerset on June 9th it will not be your Sat Nav at fault! The ‘TOKENDE’ African drumming group will be hosting an evening of “Afrobeat/ Highlife/ Funk & Soul/ Global Grooves” with the spectacular ‘HELELE’ topping the bill. The event is a fund raiser – with the emphasis on fun – for PROJECT MAHOLA– a charity providing much needed healthcare to communities in rural Cameroon. PROJECT MAHOLA – is close to the heart of Alfonse Doudet Touna who visits Wrington each month to teach the Tokende group. Alfonse originates from Cameroon and he formed the HELELE afro funk band with some of Bristol’s finest session musicians, where he now lives. “Their music is spontaneous and alive …. the urge to dance is impossible to resist” For those who need a little lubrication to assist rhythmic movement there will be a licensed bar and nibbles on the night!
