BCUC bring their Womex Award–winning afro-psychedelic future pop from Soweto to Brighton—raw, political, and hypnotic.
The 2023 Womex Award winners bring their afro-psychedelic future pop from Soweto to BrightonBCUC: Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness bring their mix of indigenous funk, hip-hop consciousness and punk rock energy from Soweto, South Africa.
A stone’s throw from the church where Desmond Tutu organised the escape of the most wanted anti-Apartheid activists of Soweto, BCUC rehearse in a shipping container-turned community restaurant, where their indomitable outspokenness echoes in a whole new way.Like its elders, Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness sees its music as a hedonistic trance, but also as a weapon of political and spiritual liberation.
The seven-piece band has been mesmerising audiences both locally and globally with its indigenous funk and high-energy performances that have fast made it one of South Africa’s most successful musical exports.
