The Souljazz
Orchestra combine funk & afrobeat, taking cues & influences from
related genres such as jazz, boogaloo & soul, adding spirituality &
politically aware lyrics to complete this superb musical combo pumping out a
raw groove, perhaps best described as "earthquaking
afrofunk".
With heavyweight backing
from international DJs such as Radio 1's Gilles Peterson, the band are
constantly on the road and we have secured a slot in their worldwide tour
schedule, giving you the chance to catch this multicultural,
multilingual and multigender group in an intimate setting.
Support on the night will be from Edinburgh
favourites "Departure Lounge" who specialize in "heavyweight global sounds" (in
fact this night is part of their 5th birthday celebration). We can safely say that this night is going to
be one to remember! Doors 8pm, The Souljazz Orchestra will be
onstage at 9.45pm. Tickets priced £10
