African Soul Rebels Featuring Les Amazones D’afrique, Gasper Nali + Support

African Soul Rebels is reborn for a new era - celebrating fearless artists who reshape tradition, challenge borders, and put rhythm at the centre of resistance and joy.Leading the charge are the electrifying L’Amazones d’Afrique - the powerhouse collective of West African artists whose music fuses ancient roots with future-facing sounds and a message of, unity and change.Joining them is the phenomenal Gasper Nali, a not-so-traditional babatoni player from the shores of Lake Malawi.

With his 3-metre-long, one-stringed homemade bass guitar, a stick and an empty beer bottle, plus a cow-skin kick drum and collaborators on percussion and guitar, he creates impossibly danceable Afro beats with playful, joyful hooks.Opening the night: a handpicked rising artist curated by BBC Introducing, spotlighting the next voice pushing boundaries and connecting cultures.Music Beyond Mainstream and Bristol Beacon14+ (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult)
