Editor's review
The front man for Akoya Afrobeat, Kaleta combines complex rhythms, high-octane acid-jazz guitar riffs, plastic synth lines, tribal chants, and a dramatic pop sensibility to create a sound that is ostensibly 'afrobeat'--though that term hardly sums up an artist who makes the very notion of 'genre' laughable.
