Transglobal Underground

Transglobal Underground are touring the UK in 2024 to promote their latest album 'Walls Have Ears'. The band features original members Tuup (vocals/congas), Hamid Mantu (drums) and Tim Whelan (keyboards) together with Rav Neiyyar (Dohl drum) and Sheema Mukerjee (bass and sitar) .There are few acts in the UK with as strong an influence, as complex a legacy, and as mysteriously legendary as Transglobal Underground. Trying to describe what it is and what it was has defeated the most eloquent of journalists, and those involved in TGU itself have made no effort to help, refusing to define themselves on the grounds that it wasnt their job to do so, while rejecting any signs anyone attempted to hang on them.

So what is Transglobal Underground Well, over 25 years it's been DJ/musical collective, one of the founders of global fusion, a working band famous for it's scorching live shows, a techno soundsystem, a folk festival rabble rouser, a pop group, a club night, a Middle Eastern hit production team, an improvised study group for Indian classical music, an Albanian brass band, a duo..or was it an octet...a seminar, a medicine show and several things no one involved would admit to if they could even remember them.
