Bantu Live

Lagos, the pulsating epicenter of the current global Afropop movement, has always been a melting
pot of musical genres constantly inspiring and feeding off one another.
One of the bands that has always stood out amongst the crowd is BANTU, a 13-piece musical
collective known for their rich myriad sounds and socially conscious lyrics. Formed as an acronym
of Brotherhood Alliance Navigating Towards Unity (BANTU) by brothers Ade Bantu and Abiodun in
Germany, the group has created a unique and immediately recognizable fusion of Afrobeat,
Afrofunk & Yoruba music.
The list of artists who’ve collaborated with BANTU are a testament to the power, originality, and
talent of the band.
With a recently concluded European tour and chart entries in both the Transglobal & European
Music charts, BANTU continues to soar to greater heights while remaining true to their creative
calling. So we are more than happy, that BANTU will return to the Yaam at the 20th September.
