Title: Concerts in London
Post by: Corrie on January 17, 2017, 00:30

I live in Deptford, London and I recently discovered Congolese music when I stumbled across Maestro Bar.

I am now in love with this great music and learning more every day about it. Does anyone know of more concerts in London? Particularly where Mboka Liya is playing, he hasn't been to Maestro in months.

Thanks.

I forget the names of the venue but there's another music bar where Renato Mundele, Eugene Makuta (both ex Big Stars) and Mboka Liya were weekly fixtures

edit - it is Maestro bar

I will ask for you where Mboka is playing in the near future.

Mboka Liya is playing in the Forge in London this Friday. They start at about 8 I think. Best to go by that time, if it starts later, still you won't miss anything. ;)

This is the flyer:
