“The combination of the harp, keys & storytelling was perfect.”

Producer and actor Kobby Taylor brings his own brand of gig-theatre to life with live-synth, harp and remixes of classics from Afrobeat legend, his grandad Ebo Taylor.  

 Vivek Santhosh will bring Moog and prophet synths basslines and pads and progressive harpist Stephanie Halsey will put a modern spin on a traditional instrument. Kobby’s music blends hip-hop storytelling with jazz tinted Afrobeat grooves. The result is The Torch – part-mixtape, part-confessional, all performed live with the spontaneity of an improvising band.
