BCUC Millions Of Us LP
7-osobowy zespół z Soweto, prowadzony przez wokalistę Jovi Nkosiego to wspólcczesny głos zbudowany na tradycji muzycznej miejscowych przodków. Jazzowe brzmienia z lat 70. i 80. zastępowane przez hip-hopowe wpływy i punkrockową energię, zabierają słuchacza w intrygującą podróż. Nagrywany w Soweto i zmiksowany (plus dubowy szlif) w Londynie "Millions Of Us" jest połączeniem tego wyjątkowego zespołu i londyńskiej On The Corner Records. To niesamowite wydawnictwo jest priorytetem dla On The Corner i punktem kulminacyjnym na obchody 10 rocznicy wytwórni.
----------------------
A stone’s throw from the church where Desmond Tutu organised the escape of the most wanted antiApartheid activists of Soweto, BCUC rehearses in a shipping container-turned-community restaurant, where their indomitable outspokenness echoes in a whole new way. Like its elders, Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness (BCUC) sees its music as a hedonistic trance, but also as a weapon of political and spiritual liberation.
Bantu means people, Uhuru means freedom - the 7- pieces band led by vocalist Jovi Nkosi rekindle the freedom of awareness, giving contemporary voice to the ancestral traditions of indigenous peoples. Jazz sounds of 1970s and ‘80s productions replaced by hip-hop in!uences and punk-rock energy, taking the listener on an intriguing epic journey.
With only a few releases under their belt, BCUC took the world by storm with their mesmerising performances, winning crowds at festivals such as Glastonbury (West Holts), Roskilde, Dour, Worldwide, Womad, Fusion and Sziget to name a few, while collaborating with legends like Femi Kuti and Saul Williams.
‘Millions Of Us’ is their first full-length album and most ambitious work to date - distilling their magic on record, summoning mainstage festival-energy and stewing down, casting spells for the intimate audience. Recorded in Soweto, post dubbed and mixed in London the album is the coming together of this unique band and London’s On The Corner Records, a label that has been traversing underground sounds worldwide.
