-------------------
Matuki is a UK Afrobeat behemoth with a hypnotic, forward-
thinking and relentlessly high-energy take on West African
traditions. Led by Gambian singer and percussionist, Ebou
Sanyang, the band have recently added world-class kora
player Suntou Susso to their line-up of sizzling horns, tuff
bass-lines and interlocking guitars. With nods to funk and
disco along the way, and a penchant for pulsating rhythmic
wig-outs, their explosion of a live show has gained them an
enviable reputation, leaving you gasping for more.
Highlights for the band so far include performances on
Glastonbury's Glade Stage, headline shows on the Chai
Wallah stage at Shambala, Green Man and Secret Garden
Party, and support slots for Quantic, Craig Charles' Funk 'n'
Soul show, the Souljazz Orchestra and Dele Sosimi.
Independent Manchester-based label Stutter and Twitch
released single 'Injo' on 7" vinyl in Autumn 2016.
Matuki are currently working on their second album, set for
release in late 2019, with support from PRS for Music
