Live Jazz London

Influences: Fela Kuti, Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock

Newen Afrobeat are a Chilean ensemble built on a formidable horn section and thunderous percussion, fusing Fela Kuti's Afrobeat blueprint with Latin American rhythms and jazz sensibilities. Ten years into their career, they've become a leading force in their home country by channelling African political urgency through a contemporary Latin lens, delivering electrifying sets where groove, message, and movement are inseparable.
