Info
Founded in 1996, BANTU have been one of the West African acts transforming the legacy of King Sunny Adé and Fela Kuti into the soundtrack of the continent. The group is distinguished by the fact that while created and fronted by vocalist Ade Bantu, it is unmistakably a collective, collaborative effort. When you have a band this strong, this tight where everyone gets to shine, magic happens. And once again with their new album, the 13-piece ensemble will be pushing the boundaries of funkiness and political prowess for contemporary music, in Africa or globally. From their first release to the present, BANTU has scored a series of hits across Europe and Africa garnering major awards. Indeed, the list of artists who've collaborated with BANTU is a testament to the power, originality and talent of the band: an international cornucopia including UB40, Tony Allen, Patrice, Nneka, Orlando Julius, Brothers Keepers (which they created), Gentleman, Yemi Alade, Megaloh and Burna Boy just to name a few. These collaborations helped the band earn several major Continental awards, including the Kora Awards (the Pan African equivalent of the Grammys) for “Best Group West Africa” and “Best Group Africa”. BANTU have been credited with the recent revival of the live music scene in Nigeria through Afropolitan Vibes, a monthly concert series & music festival that they have been hosting for over 9 years in Lagos. The show has featured over 200 top Nigerian and international acts and was voted as “one of the world's best music events of the moment" by The Village Voice. Their latest 2020 release "Everybody Get Agenda" was nothing short of a musical sensation - Afrobeat, Afrofunk and Soul seamlessly flowed into one another as they merge with Jazz, Highlife, Hiphop and Yoruba music. The lyrics addressed issues around corruption, injustice, migration, xenophobia and urban alienation while a guest appearance by Seun Kuti on “Yeye Theory” rounded up the solid long player which was produced and recorded by Aman Junaid (George Clinton, TLC) in Lagos, mixed by Manu Schlindwein (Angelique Kidjo, Patrice) in Cologne and mastered Tony Dawsey (Jay Z, NIN, Gang Starr) in Atlanta. There is no doubt that with Everybody Get Agenda BANTU did not just chart new musical territory but reached it and firmly planted their flag. Currently the band is working on a new album which is slated for release in June 2023.
