This year one of the giants of Afrobeat Dele Sosimi together with the artistic director of Eklektik Session – Radek "Bond" Bednarz – will create a unique project Eklektik Afrobeat Orchestra with the participation of this year's festival guests and local musicians.

Dele Sosimi stands out as one of the most active musicians currently on the Afrobeat scene worldwide. Dele’s career began when he joined Fela’s Anikulapo-Kuti’s Egypt 80, where he played keyboards for 7 years (1979-1986). Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was the founder of the style of music known as Afrobeat. The music is a blend of complex but highly danceable funk grooves, Nigerian traditional music (including hi-life), African percussion, underpinning the jazz horns and solos from other instruments, as well as rhythmical singing. Dele was the rhythm keyboard player for Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s Egypt 80 and worked and toured extensively with Fela around the world.

Moral values, sense of commitment, instrumental discipline and love for music are inscribed in his DNA, which is why Dele Sosimi's talent has been appreciated many times around the world. For the finale of Eklektik Session in Wroclaw, emphasizing the aforementioned values – Dele together with the festival's artistic director Radek Bond Bednarz – will create the unique project Eklektik Afrobeat Orchestra, inviting the guests of this year's festival and local musicians.
