Bantu

BANTU’s Music is the sound of Lagos. The bustling megapolis which the band calls home serves as muse and backdrop for their sonic adventures that celebrate and explore the complexities and contradictions of navigating daily life in the city of dreams and chaos. The music of the 13-piece award-winning collective led by Ade Bantu is a fusion of Afrobeat, Afrofunk, Highlife, and Yoruba music. Driven by a strong desire for social justice, the band’s lyrics address issues around corruption, injustice, migration, xenophobia, and urban alienation.

BANTU aka Brotherhood Alliance Navigating Towards Unity has been credited with reviving Nigeria's live music scene through Afropolitan Vibes. This monthly concert series & music festival has been hosted in Lagos since 2013 and has featured over 190 top Nigerian and international acts. It was even voted as "one of the world's best music events of the moment" by The Village Voice. BANTU has collaborated with renowned artists such as Seun Kuti, Patrice, Nneka, Xavier Naidoo, Tony Allen, Orlando Julius, UB40 Gentleman among others.

Their latest album "Everybody Get Agenda" was released in 2020. If you enjoy artists like Dr. Chaii, Shungudzo or Mr Eazi then BANTU's unique blend of genres will captivate your ears.
