Michael Olatuja & Lagos Pepper Soup — live event
As one of today’s most inventive bassists, the London-born, Lagos-raised, and New York–based audience favorite Michael Olatuja is currently serving as US Musical Director for 5x GRAMMY® Award-winner Angelique Kidjo and has worked with Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Shakira, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Hugh Masekela, Terence Blanchard, Joe Lovano, and many others. He’s also a major presence in the bands of Broadway including The Tony Awards Orchestra, films scores of directors like Lin-Manuel Miranda, and more. In this performance, he shares selections from his acclaimed Lagos Pepper Soup album and brand-new songs that blend energetic Afrobeat, jazz, and funk into what Olatuja calls “a zesty, sonic stew that honors the ancient Xulu word ubuntu, which means, ‘we are all connected.’”
