Wyndham Cultural Centre is going to be buzzing with energy on Monday October 23 when renowned Ghanaian guitarist Ebo Taylor takes to the stage as part of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival.
A prolific vocalist, guitarist and composer whose career began in the 1950s, Taylor is considered one of the pioneers of afrobeat music and has helped establish it on the world stage.
Wyndham councillor Marcel Mahfoud urged locals to make the most of having a globally esteemed artist performing in their community.
“Come along and enjoy this not to be missed performance right here in Werribee, by
Internationally renowned performer, Ebo Taylor as he shares his energetic jazz and
funk-tinged magic that has fuelled his prolific, 60-plus-year career,” Cr Mahfoud said.
“It is a fantastic opportunity to experience an international jazz performance locally.
Make the most of it and enjoy a night out.”
Now aged in his 80’s, Taylor has collaborated with the likes of Fela Kuti and Usher among countless others and will be backed by the 17-piece Public Opinion Afro Orchestra for his Wyndham performance.
