BCUC bring their award-winning afro-psychedelic future pop from Soweto to Brighton - raw, political and hypnotic
Renowned for their raucous, knock-out live performances and following their 2024 sell out show, BCUC - Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness return to Brighton Dome with their own mix of indigenous sounds, funk, hip-hop consciousness and punk rock energy.
A stone’s throw from the church where Desmond Tutu organised the escape of the most wanted anti-Apartheid activists of Soweto, BCUC rehearse in a shipping container-turned community restaurant, where their indomitable outspokenness echoes in a whole new way. Like its elders, BCUC sees its music as a hedonistic trance, but also as a weapon of political and spiritual liberation.
This seven-piece band has mesmerised audiences both locally and globally with its indigenous funk and high-energy performances, making them today one of South Africa’s most successful musical exports.
"Not much comes close to the experience of watching BCUC live"
Crack Magazine
'The energy you feel from BCUC can make your jaw ache from smiling. They are the most incredible live band and this is the second time we have seen them, with hopefully many more times to come. Everyone should see this band, it should be used as therapy for the soul.'Audience member from BCUC's 2024 Brighton Dome show
