Funkiwala Records presents a brand new digital single 'Eni Agee' by CUBAFROBEAT.

Formed out of the collaboration between London fusionistas LoKkhi TeRra ("probably the worlds best Cuban-Afrobeat-Bangladeshi group" Songlines Magazine) and UK's Afrobeat Ambassador Dele Sosimi ("A true legend" Clash Magazine), Cubafrobeat was initially the name of their critically acclaimed album from 2018 (" A total Stonking Blinder" All About Jazz). The project has now evolved naturally into an entirely new musical beast – and this is their first single.

This tune was originally composed by members of Lokkhi Terra whist on tour in Bangladesh - using a typical Bengali groove in 5/4 as a starting point.. Inspired by this odd time signature, Dele joined in, initiating an old Yoruba numeracy and literacy call and response interactive game. Throw in a killer solo by Saxophonist Finn Peters and the musical joy is clear to hear. Everybody say Yeah Yeah
