BCUC (za), Massa Dembele & Band - Stubnitz presents: Exit Elbbrücken

From humble beginnings, rehearsing in a shipping container a stone's throw from the church where Desmond Tutu organized the escape of the most wanted anti-Apartheid activists of Soweto, BCUC have grown to become one of the world's most celebrated bands, playing the biggest stages at some of the most important festivals in the world: Glastonbury West Holts, Roskilde, Afropunk Brooklyn, Dour, Worldwide, Womad, Fusion, Sziget, FMM Sines, Beaches Brew, Boomtown, Colours of Ostrava, Couleur Café. "We bring fun and emo-indigenous Afro psychedelic fire from the hood." (vocalist Kgomotso Mokone).

Massa Dembele is a songwriter, griot, percussionist and master of the camel N'Goni, a West African harp. On April 17, his new album "Falato" will be released on Not OK Records - it is his third - and his first with a large band line-up. Drums, bass, guitar, shimmering synthesizer solos, crisp brass and above all the voice and the camels N'Goni of Massa Dembele: "Falato", recorded in Bobo-Dioulasso / Burkina Faso with local musicians, is Afrobeat and jazz, West African soul, desert blues and griot music.
