London based saxophonist and vocalist Bukky Leo brings his acclaimed afrobeat collective 'Black Egypt' to Ronnie Scott's. Last time Bukky Leo played with his band Black Egypt it was the Nigerian drummer Tony Allen that guested with them. Sadly Tony has now passed away but tonight the band celebrate not only Fela Kuti and Tony Allen but another legend of the funk scene in Nigeria: William Onyeanor.
