Blufunk – Nigerian blues/funk/soul fusion
Headliner
Keziah Jones (Olufemi Sanyaolu) is a Nigerian singer‑songwriter and guitarist who coined the term "Blufunk", a blend of raw blues, hard‑edge funk, Yoruba music and soul. He has released albums such as *Nigerian Wood* and *Blufunk Is a Fact!* and is known for his percussive right‑hand guitar technique that mimics a bass slap. His performances often fuse African rhythms with Western blues and funk, creating a cross‑cultural sound that has earned him a reputation as a pioneering figure in contemporary African‑influenced music.
