Leeds-formed new-jazz collective take on Electric Brixton nearly a year after their landmark release 'Find Your Flame', featuring Nile Rodgers, Seun Kuti, and K.O.G, inspiring much UK pride.
Nubiyan Twist have been on a long and twisted journey to greatness. Forming at Leeds College of Music in 2011, they have dipped their toes into numerous scenes, sounds, and styles, venturing through hip-hop, neo-soul, Afrobeat, and while they refuse to land on just one sound, the confidence they have grown into enables them to tackle just about anything they put their mind to.
14 years after forming as late-teens, they can now boast a Nile Rodgers collaboration. As if collaborating with African music legend Pat Thomas in 2021 wasn't enough, they just kept having to take it there…
We can only look on in wonder as these highly talented, highly deserving British musicians now take on world music. After capturing the eye of Gilles Peterson, where could they go but up?
Now, they seem more than capable of selling out Electric Brixton, highly popular against all odds in a landscape heavily weighed against African-infused jazz-dance music. We guarantee, Nubiyan Twist are an absolute riot. You won't need to know any songs going into it, but you sure as hell will on your way out.
