NUBIYAN TWIST
FREEDOM FABLES – 18 SEPTEMBER 21

“A beautiful blend of groovy dub with uplifting horns and soulful vocals”
-The Guardian

“A bombastic salvo of jive-inducing sonic influences. Undeniably infectious.”– NARC

Nubiyan Twist return with their brand new album ‘Freedom Fables’ on 18 September 2021.
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 10 piece, big band sound.

Woven around soul searching, cautionary tales and parables for modern life, the new album is the most accomplished yet by the Leeds / London collective, effortlessly fusing different soul, jazz and global styles with great musicianship and lyrics.

“Freedom Fables reflects on the power of narratives. Each vocalist on this record explores their own memoirs, a freedom of expression underpinning our belief that music is the ultimate narrative for unity," explains Tom Excell. “The record references a lot of music that we all loved during our formative years; you can hear touches of broken beat, blunted hip hop, highlife, Latin, jazz and UK soul running through the tracks."
