Baba BG & Odu Afrobeat Orchestra
Baba BG & Odu Afrobeat Orchestra play two shows at Cliff Bell's in Detroit on Saturday, December 26, at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. It's a band of the city's best musicians playing funky, horn-driven Afrobeat. Tickets are $25.
Odu comes from Yoruba spirituality, where an Odù is one of 256 divinatory principles. The band's members come from different genres, ages and backgrounds, and that mix stands for Detroit's musical diversity.
Baba BG adds his own stories and views to the Afrobeat tradition. In "16 Cowries," vibrant horns, funky guitar riffs and a driving rhythm section carry vocals in both English and Yoruba.
There are two shows. Doors open at 5 p.m. for dinner, seating for Dinner & a Show begins at 6 p.m., and seating for the second show starts at 9 p.m.
