Nelson and Friends is an Afro-fusion collective, which blends Mozambique music with jazz and funk, led by Nelson Neves of the Cena tribe, Mozambique. As well as being a successful dancer and choreographer, Nelson is the founder of the well-known band in Mozambique called Djaaka who toured the globe before Nelson moved to the UK. This newly-formed collective is fast-gaining a reputation around London for their irresistible rhythms and captivating melodies, which makes it impossible for even the most reluctant dancer not to get up on their feet and move. Nelson and Friends' music is inspired by the likes of Youssour N'dour, Madala Kunene, Miriam Makeba and Mozambique names such as David Mazembe, Severino and many more.

With Afro-Palace DJs led by Volta 45 on the decks throughout the evening, this will be a lively night even for Brixton.
