Since 1980 Jean Paul 'Bluey' Maunick and Incognito have been connecting with audiences, playing a positive blend of jazz, funk and soul. In 2001 the band won a Mobo Award for Best Jazz Act. Inspired by Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Kool & the Gang, Marvin Gaye and UK bands such as Gonzalez & FBI, Incognito released their debut album Jazz Funk in 1981. Ten years later Incognitowere signed to Gilles Peterson’s Talkin’ Loud label and became the biggest act in the label’s history with charts hits such as Always There feat. Jocelyn Brown, Still A Friend Of Mine, Don’t You Worry ‘bout A Thing & Everyday. Since leaving the label in 2002, Incognito have released a slew of incredible albums and have collaborated with Chaka Khan, Mario Biondi and Ed Motta.

The Mahotella Queens
Were pivotal in the cultural resistance to apartheid, and were idols to South Africas black communities in those dark times. A powerful hybrid of traditional music drawing on Zulu, Sotho, Shangaan, Xhosa and South African jazz (Marabi). 'The Mahotella Queens represent so much of what is best in the music of South Africa : the finely honed art of passionate singing, the lattice of funky rhythms, and the breathtaking art of spectacular live performance' (Womex 2000 award Proclaimation - naming the Mahotella Queens as world music artist of the year 2000)
