San Francisco African Band style

This San Francisco African Band puts together its memories of traditional West African folk music, 'palm-wine' tunes, and highlife songs, bringing them to life with their harmonious voices, African guitar stylings, and hand percussion instruments.

Together, this San Francisco African Band recreates the sweet, lifting sounds of their earliest village memories. This gentle but rhythmic music is a special treat for those who seek an authentic African sound.

"Nigerian Highlife music was originally created by those who wanted to rise above the pain and suffering... to transcend all evils."
