Description
Nubiyan Twist is undoubtedly one of the most interesting live collectives of this young generation of English musicians who are unashamedly shaking up the codes of contemporary jazz.
Hailing from Leeds, these performers concocted their exhilarating aggregate of neo-soul, jazz-funk, afro-groove and broken beat in the clubs of London. Their style is often described as festive, danceable and committed, with a strong multicultural dimension, in an aesthetic both modern and deeply influenced by African and Afro-American music. The group has collaborated with several major figures in international music, including Tony Allen, Fatoumata Diawara, Nile Rodgers and Seun Kuti.
