Red Snapper

Playing a unique blend of instrumental Afro-jazz, funk and hip-hop, Red Snapper is one of the most forward-thinking and ground-breaking bands in the UK, with a huge live reputation across the world.

In this performance, the band plays its newly composed score to the classic Senegalese film 'Touki Bouki' (1973) directed by Djibril Diop Mambéty and restored by Martin Scorsese's Word Cinema Foundation. It's an ambitious project that highlights the band's cinematic tendency, as featured in its critically acclaimed recent album 'Key'.

'Touki Bouki' is a beautiful film about the desperation of young Africans yearning for stability and prosperity. Red Snapper's live soundtrack highlights its dark humour, creating an emotive and surprising experience.
