'Get Up', the second 2008 release on Germany's funkiest label, Tramp Records is again by Kaleta & ZoZo Afrobeat. Kaleta, multi-talented singer,
composer, producer, guitarist and percussionist, has been leading this ZoZo Afrobeat project since 2003. With his original afrobeat concept,
thought provoking lyrics, Benino-Nigerian rhythms and amazing songwriting skills he proves once more that he plays in the same league as bands
like Antibalas, Kokolo and Femi Kuti to name just a few. The band consists of 12 very talented musicians whose origins lie in several countries
from around the globe including Cameroon and Nigeria.
Kaleta & ZoZo Afrobeat combine complex rhythms and high octane acid jazz guitar riffs to create a unique sound. Even more amazing, Kaleta
has performed, toured and recorded with the two most prolific Nigerian music legends, Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade as well as Fela's son,
Femi Kuti. Born in Porto-Novo, Republic of Benin and brought-up in Lagos, Nigeria it is not a surprise that Kaleta sings in Yoruba, Goun, Fon,
French as well as Pidgin English (the official language of afrobeat).
Watch out for the forthcoming debut album by Kaleta & ZoZo Afrobeat named 'Country Of Guns', available March 17th, 2008 on Tramp Records.
