Nubian Twist

Nubiyan Twist enter the Blue Note scene in a brand new line-up and with a new concert show, bringing an electrifying mix of jazz, afrobate, soul, hip-hop and dance music. The stage will not lack expressive arrangements and enormous energy!

Known for their powerful sound and gripping concerts, the 9-member collective draws on the musical traditions of Africa, the Caribbean and South America, combining them with the artistry of British jazz, impressive dynamics and infectious groove.

With acclaimed collaborations with music icons such as Nile Rodgers, Tony Allen, Seun Kuti and Fatoumata Diawara, the band is constantly pushing boundaries — uniting cultures, generations and genres through music that celebrates closeness, freedom and groove.

“When this nine-person collective ignites its flame, it burns with a bright glow.” — Rolling Stone

Founded in Leeds and now one of the most respected touring bands in the UK, Nubiyan Twist has garnered MOBO and AIM Award nominations, sold out tours and garnered acclaim from NPR, “Rolling Stone”, “Jazzwise” and Bandcamp Daily.
