Afriquoi – live African dance music for a new generation
Blending Congolese guitar, Gambian kora, and Mandinka percussion with UK electronic sounds, Afriquoi create an uplifting, dancefloor-ready fusion of house, garage, disco, soul, and jungle. Formed in London in 2011, this powerhouse 5-piece have built a global underground following, with their track Kudaushe becoming a club favourite worldwide. From Glastonbury Festival to WOMAD and Boomtown, their high-energy live shows have lit up major stages across Europe. Pure fusion. Pure energy.

“Without a doubt the best live act I saw.” – Gilles Peterson
Straight out of Soweto, BCUC deliver a powerful fusion of indigenous funk, hip-hop consciousness, and punk rock energy. What started in a shipping container has grown into one of the most explosive live acts on the global stage, lighting up festivals like Glastonbury Festival, Roskilde, and WOMAD.
More than music, it’s ritual, resistance, and raw spiritual energy.
“We bring fun and emo-indigenous Afro-psychedelic fire from the hood,” says vocalist Kgomotso Mokone.
Featuring
Afriquoi
Featuring a diverse array of hyper-talented musicians from Congo, Gambia, Bostswana and the UK, Afriquoi combine live instruments, electronics and vocal effects to create live African dance music. Drawing on fresh UK sounds (house, UK funky, dubstep, glitch) alongside traditional African melody and harmony, and a healthy smattering of ragga dancehall vocals, Afriquoi create an atmosphere and a sound world that is all their own. Afriquoi fuse live marimba, African guitar, djembe, African vocals, dancehall MCing and crisp, heavy beats, blending dancehall, soca, chimurenga, soukous, house, dubstep and electro in a powerful, uplifting, dance-friendly blend.
