Performance Notes	Before there was afrobeat there was highlife a joyful, good-times Ghanaian musical style that took on new gloss in 1960s Nigeria. Praised for their bewitching, colourful and easy-listening grooves, Nigerian sensations Kingsley Okorie and Benjamin James bring their distinctive brand of highlife fusion to the BBC Proms. Blending Igbo highlife all bright horns and plucked guitar riffs and pulsing percussion with jazz and soul, the brothers launched their careers with influential 2020 album ROOTS (recorded in the brothers living room) and have since collaborated with everyone from Wizkid to Angelique Kidjo and Davido.
