ABOUT AFRO CLUSTER
Afro Cluster is a Cardiff-born collective inspired by the legacy of West-African funk/Afrobeat and the golden age Hip-Hop. The creative ethos behind their work is to instigate love and hope in an increasingly hostile world. Across their catalogue you will hear strong rhythms and jazzy refrains emboldened by motivational lyrics penned and delivered by emcee Skunkadelic.
They’re a festival favourite at Glastonbury, WOMAD, Green Man, Boomtown and Wilderness and they've performed alongside the likes of Gilles Peterson, Hot 8 Brass Band, People Under TheStairs and Ibibio Sound Machine.
The band’s debut album ‘The Reach’ dropped in February 2021, exploring the quandary of human nature, our relationships, our struggles and the current state of the music industry, with a focus on how a positive mindset and unity can help us find solutions.
“ They’re excellent proof that the best music exists between and beyond genre boundaries and national borders and are reputed as being one of the finest live bands in Wales .” – BBC Horizon
FOOD Indian inspired streetfood will be served by the amazing Chai Indian
