Infant Sorrow

Infant Sorrow is a London-based musical collective that came together in the early 2000s. Their sound pulls from Afrobeat, soul, and funk, and they first gained wider attention with the single "African Child." That track, along with songs like "Inside Of You" and "Furry Walls," appears among their most recognized work.

The group's core lineup includes lead singer and songwriter Benedict Chijioke (who goes by Chijioke), guitarist and producer Bruno Dunn, bassist Mark Hamilton, and drummer Oliver Payne. They've released albums such as "African Child" in 2005, "Diaspora" in 2008, and "Audacity" in 2012.

Some listeners have questioned the use of the term "African Child" in their song, suggesting it might oversimplify a diverse continent. Chijioke has explained that the title was meant to speak to shared experiences and draw attention to the needs of children there. Outside of recording, the band has worked with organizations like Oxfam and Save the Children on issues related to poverty and refugees.
