Live Jazz London

Influences: Hugh Masekela, Abdullah Ibrahim, Pharoah Sanders

Ubunye is a South African-rooted jazz collective blending township jazz, Afro-house rhythms and contemporary grooves into a warm, dancefloor-friendly sound. Their live shows are built around layered percussion, horns and driving basslines that move easily between spiritual jazz and electronic textures. The group draws on the Cape Town and Johannesburg jazz traditions, so expect rhythms rooted in African music brought forward into a modern London jazz setting.
