Pateka live in City of Albany

Experience Pateka live on August 1st

Pateka is scheduled to perform at the Ivy Room in Albany, New York on August 1st, 2026. Pateka’s musical style blends elements of Afrobeat, highlife, and jazz, often featuring intricate guitar work, polyrhythmic percussion, and vocals primarily in Twi – a language spoken in Ghana. The group draws inspiration from Ghanaian guitar band music of the 1970s and 80s while incorporating contemporary influences.

The Ivy Room is a long-standing venue in Albany known for hosting a diverse range of musical acts, with a particular focus on independent and alternative genres.

The space maintains a relatively intimate setting, fostering close interaction between performers and audiences. It's known for its wooden floors, vintage décor and generally relaxed atmosphere. Throughout its history it has been a significant location for live music performance within the Capital Region.
