Afrobeat Academy has been played on NTS in shows including Full House, featured first on 31 January 2016. Songs played include L.C.I.A. (Language Confusion In Africa).

Berlin-based Afrobeat Academy is one of the heaviest afro-funk bands on the planet. The band formed in Berlin in 2005 to work with Nigerian guitar legend Oghene Kologbo and provide some serious weight to his original sounds. Together, they toured Germany and Holland, and appeared at the prestigious Soul Ascension Festival in Berlin's Lovelite. In 2007 they released the Afro Confusion 45 on Rabbi Records and a full length, limited edition cd titled "Remember Fela Anikulapo Kuti" (Lion's Ark). The Afrobeat Academy horns can be heard (along with afrobeat icon Tony Allen on drums) on Kologbo's forthcoming album "Africa is the Future" The Afrobeat Academy was the backing band for Afropean rapper Bantu from 2005-2009. They performed at clubs and festivals in Germany, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland. In October 2007, they embarked on a month long tour in Ghana and Nigeria. This was an incredible experience for all, especially because the Afrobeat Academy met and performed with Ghanaian funk master Ebo Taylor! A new project was launched with Ebo Taylor in the summer of 2009. Ebo Taylor and Afrobeat Academy performed sold out shows in Paris and Frankfurt and headed straight to the studio to record a new album, Ebo's first international release ever! Ebo Taylor and Afrobeat Academy, released October 22, 2010 on Strut Records- http://www.ebotaylor-loveanddeath.com
