Nubiyan Twist | The Tracks To Know Before Radical Redesign
A blend of virtuosic players, skilled producers and inspired composers join forces to create a unique, infectious sound drawing on jazz, hip-hop, afrobeat, latin, soul, reggae and dance music - expect ultra-tight musicianship and a powerful 9-piece, big band sound.
Since forming in 2011 at the Leeds College of Music, Nubiyan Twist have risen to become one of the leading groups in the fertile UK music scene. Known for their eclectic blend of styles and powerful sound, the virtuosic nine-piece band’s thrilling exploration of tight musicianship and infectious grooves has consistently mesmerised audiences.
Their 2015 self-titled debut album and acclaimed ‘Jungle Run’ in spring 2019 led to their third massive album ‘Freedom Fables’, released in March 2021. UK tours in 2019, 2021 and 2022 included sold-out dates across the country, and they've rocked festival stages, including at Boomtown, as well as supporting legends such as Tony Allen, Ebo Taylor and Nile Rogers and Chic.
Nubiyan Twist are the antithesis of festival good vibes! The right balance of Jazz, funk and grooves to get your feet moving on a warm August evening!
