Just a stone's throw away from Desmond Tutu's place of work in Soweto, Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness rehearse in a former shipping container that has been converted into a communal restaurant. From there, the seven-piece band has developed into one of South Africa's most successful bands in recent years. As artistic heirs to South African Afro-jazz legends such as Philip "Malombo" Tabane and Batsumi, BCUC place their music in the context of spiritual and political liberation. Jazz sounds from productions of the 1970s and 80s meet influences from Afrobeat and hip-hop, fueled by the indomitable energy of punk rock. Through collaborations with Femi Kuti and Saul Williams and inspiring performances at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Roskilde, Sziget and Womad, BCUC have built up a worldwide fan base - and are now bringing their fascinating sound to Bremen for the first time as part of an extensive European tour.
