Finnish oddball Jimi Tenor gets his afrobeat on tonight @Cargo
Musician and composer Jimi Tenor has never settled for the traditional role of a pop artist.
He is known as a productive musician whose work lies beyond current trends, and also as a performer who combines the finest elements of afro-american music, spontaneous silliness and shameless glamour in an original way.
The music industry has found it difficult to operate with Jimi Tenor at times. The hard rock driven Finland of the 80s considered him weird and too marginal.
In Britain in the 90s he was seen as a trendy techno jazz artist, but confused the electro label Warp by delivering an imaginary - and expensive - soundtrack album with a symphony orchestra, instead of making minimalistic hits.
Check him out at Cargo...
