Kaleta. The singer/guitarist from the West African country of Benin Republic lived his adolescent life in Lagos, Nigeria where Afrobeat was born. Kaleta's guitar chops earned him decades of touring and recording with Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, Lauryn Hill and more. Kaleta got his start in the late 70s performing in church and was soon after picked up by iconic Juju master and world music pioneer King Sunny Ade. A few years later Fela Kuti came calling. Kaleta would go on to tour the world playing guitar for the King of Afrobeat in his storied band Egypt 80 through the 1980s and into the 1990s. Now based in New York City, Kaleta has been leading Super Yamba Band since 2017. Their debut album 'Mèdaho,' which was released by California indie label Ubiquity Records, draws on the group’s shared reverence for the raw, psychedelic sounds that captivated Kaleta as a music loving kid in 1970s Benin. Mèdaho means "big brother", "elder" or "teacher" and is dedicated to Kaleta's late brother Ligan-Ozavino Pascal who introduced him to funk and soul music at a very early age. The album was included on Bandcamp's “Best Albums of Summer 2019” list and two of the songs were chosen for the ABC/Hulu series High Fidelity staring Zoe Kravitz. Kaleta and his band have also erupted onto the stages and video screens of major music festivals and music publications across the US. They performed at the historic Apollo Theatre in 2019. They even prompted Action Bronson to stop his own show on VICELAND TV just so he could hear more Yamba. They also performed on Adult Swim's Fishcenter Live show in 2019. In 2017 they rocked Paste Magazine’s Emerging Music Festival in NYC and after that performance Afropop Worldwide fell in love with Kaleta, saying “his James Brown grunts have got to be some of the best in the business!” - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/asheville/kaleta-and-super-yamba-band-at-the-grey-eagle/200029973328430 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals, music-festivals, performances, art, theatre, kids - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 7 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Asheville - **state**: NC - **country**: United States - **location**: The Grey Eagle - **lat**: 35.587062310337 - **long**: -82.56436070489 - **full address**: The Grey Eagle, Grey Eagle Music Hall, 185 Clingman Ave, Asheville, NC 28801, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Kaleta and Super Yamba Band at The Grey Eagle - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/b954adafe314373b4a1c93228dd5fe61b0a6c0751adc76cd72aad1fb8c22839f-rimg-w1200-h720-dcc4aa5f-gmir?v=1776872609 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Kaleta and Super Yamba Band at The Grey Eagle being held? - **A:** Kaleta and Super Yamba Band at The Grey Eagle takes place on Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm at The Grey Eagle, Grey Eagle Music Hall, 185 Clingman Ave, Asheville, NC 28801, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Kaleta and Super Yamba Band at The Grey Eagle? - **A:** Kaleta and Super Yamba Band at The Grey Eagle is organized by The Grey Eagle. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at The Grey Eagle's events? - **A:** Attendees have given The Grey Eagle a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
