Straight out of Soweto: the best live band ever, according to BBC DJ Gilles Peterson. Funk, hip-hop, punk energy and spi BCUC (Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness) is widely regarded as one of the best live bands around today. Their music blends indigenous funk, hip-hop, punk energy and spiritual traditions. Hailing from Soweto, the seven-piece has become an international sensation, performing at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Roskilde, Afropunk, Sziget, Dour and Couleur Café. As BBC DJ Gilles Peterson put it: “without a doubt the best live act I saw.” Driving rhythms push audiences into a trance-like state, while powerful vocals, percussion and raw energy create an intense collective experience. BCUC brings a message of freedom, connection and cultural pride.
