Mr Bongo

Bedouin Soundclash is a reggae/rock band that was established in Kingston, Ontario, Canada circa 2001. Originally formed with drummer Pat Pengelly, the group underwent a change in early 2009 when Sekou Lumumba joined as his replacement. With their unique blend of reggae and rock influences, Bedouin Soundclash has created a distinctive sound that sets them apart from other artists in the genre.
Inspired by bands such as illScarlett, Tim Armstrong, and The King Blues, Bedouin Soundclash has carved out their own niche within the music industry. Their music resonates with fans who appreciate the fusion of different genres and enjoy energetic live performances.
With an impressive list of similar artists including The Skints, The Planet Smashers, and Jaya The Cat among others, it's clear that Bedouin Soundclash has made a significant impact on the music scene. Whether you're a fan of reggae or rock music (or both), this band offers a refreshing and captivating listening experience that will leave you wanting more.

Mr Bongo is a British label that was founded in 1989. Originally located in a small record shop of the same name, it later moved to various locations in Soho and Shibuya, Japan. In 1999, the label's office was relocated to Brighton and its London & Shibuya shops were closed in 2003. However, a new shop was opened in Brighton in 2016. Since 2004, Mr Bongo has expanded into the world of cinema and also has a publishing division that produces and licenses music for third parties.
The label's rich history and diverse range of music make it an influential player in the industry. With its extensive catalog and commitment to quality, Mr Bongo continues to be at the forefront of discovering new talent and delivering exceptional music experiences.

Bedouin Soundclash release their fifth album, and their first for 10 years, on Mr Bongo Records. Another festival of tunes, vibes and multi-genre explosions of sound.

While pulling from their old catalogue of eclectic post-punk world-beat tendencies, the band journeys further into New Orleans jazz, afro-pop, electronic and gospel on their latest offering, reflecting a creative rebirth influenced by the cities and musicians that surrounded them. Co-produced by Bedouin Soundclash and legendary Philadelphia House DJ King Britt, along with musical direction from Ben Jaffe of Preservation Hall, Mass spans two communities, recorded at Marigny Studio’s in New Orleans with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and in Vancouver at St. James Church with the children of the St. James Music Academy.

Mirroring the magnetic energy of New Orleans, Mass is a dense sonic journey that incorporates an impressive array of musical influences including Big Band swing to New Orleans jazz, pop, electronica, and more. From the post-punk-soca of album opener Salt Water, the jangling Big Band swing-pop of recent single Clockwork, to the Talking Heads-channelling When We’re Gone, and the dubbing afro-pop gospel of Holy that features Mike Dillon distorting his marimbas into another sonic dimension, Mass is jam-packed with infectious melodies and summery feel-good vibes.
