The Percussionist
Sola Akingbola is one of the UK’s leading percussionists. Self-taught and with over 24 years of experience, he describes his percussive style as ‘a synthesis of the subtle grooves of Yoruba drumming with a progressive and experimental sonic twist.’ Whilst being one of the longest-standing members of the platinum-selling band Jamiroquai since 1997, Sola has also played for a long list of celebrated musicians around the world including: David Bowie, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Will Young, Art Blakey, Aswad, Gregory Isaacs, Damon Albarn, Newton Faulkner, Axelle Red, Lokua Kanza, Ayo, Larkin Poe, Fatoumata Diawara, Francis Lalane and Gasper Lawal.
