Introducing/ Yn Cyflwyno... AFRO CLUSTER

Getting to know the Horizons artists for 2016. Yn cyflwyno artistiaid Gorwelion 2016.

A recent EP - ‘We Don Land’ '(written and performed in Nigerian pidgin English by their MC Skunkadelic) blurs the boundaries between countries (African, American and European) and genres (funk, hip hop, afro beat, jazz) to irresistible effect. Fired by the likes of Fela Kuti, Ozomatli, The Roots, Talking Heads and Snarky Puppy, their music is an inspirational background upon which MC Skunkadelic can challenge inequality and prejudice with a message of positivity and love.

Recent highpoints for the band have included performances alongside Los Angeles hip hop legends, People Under The Stairs, and Oregon jazz juggernauts, Young Blood Brass Band.
