IMPERIO BAMBA
Imperio Bamba is the new Latin American band on the block, playing intoxicating rhythms they blend chicha music with cumbia, salsa and psychedelic rock. Their lyrics talk about their experiences, delusions, sense of belonging as migrants and hopefulness. Their motto: “Let’s criticise the fake -the bamba- and celebrate the freedom to choose to be whatever you want to be” is reflected in their attitude on each performance.

EXPLOSIVE NZAKOMBA

The three man tornado of Congolese soukous
Fronted by Congolese virtuoso guitarist Daniel Isakongo aka ‘The Fire’, Explosive Nzakomba’s engaging music promotes their passion for soukous combined with everything else he learnt from his musical journey via Angola and Namibia to the UK. When interviewed ‘The Fire’ once said “audience’s always want more, so we give them more”.
