Timisoara: BCUC (South Africa)

On 17 April, 2024, Timisoara, prepare yourselves for an unforgettable concert experience with BCUC (south africa)

BCUC: Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness, Indigenous funk, hiphop, consciousness and punk rock energy from Soweto, South Africa. They were one of the highlights of 2023 Plai Festival and this April they will return to Timisoara for a show at M2 event venue!

The seven-piece band has been mesmerising audienecs both locally and globally with its indigenous funk and high-energy performances that have fast made it one of South Africa’s most successful musical exports. Artistic heirs to Philip “Malombo” Tabane and Batsumo, they give contemporary voice to the ancestral traditions of indigenous people. Jazz sounds of 1970s and ’80s productions replaced by hip-hop influences and punk-rock energy, taking the listener views of modern Africa. They tackle the hars realities of the voiceless, especially the plight of the uneducated workers at the bottom of the social food chain. BCUC taps intro the elusiveness of the spirit world of ancestors by which they are inspired. The Africa portrayed by BCUC is not poor, but rich in tradition, rituals and beliefs.
