Overgiv dig til trancen med BCUC fra Soweto, Sydafrika! Det syv personer store kollektiv har flere gange gjort en hel Roskilde Festival-skare til jublende fans og sidste gang de spillede på ALICE, var det for en tætpakket sal i total ekstase. Vi forventer intet mindre, når BCUC vender tilbage til Nørrebro til maj med funkede grooves, magnetisk percussion og rå punkrock-energi. Med sig har de deres kommende album “The Road Is Never Easy” (Out Here Records, 2026), og første single varsler allerede en intens, rytmisk medrivende og bevidsthedsudvidende oplevelse.⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛

BCUC – Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness – beskriver selv deres musik som “a hedonistic trance and a weapon of political and spiritual liberation.” Og netop i spændingsfeltet mellem fest og frigørelse opstår en helt særlig, medrivende kraft. Med afro-futuristisk, psykedelisk og ekstremt groovy percussion, magnetisk call-and-response-sang og en ukuelig energi, trækker de tråde til sydafrikanske ikoner som Philip “Malombo” Tabane og Batsumi, mens de filtrerer arven gennem hiphop, punk rock-energi og samtidens brændende spørgsmål. Det er musik, der insisterer på et Afrika rigt på traditioner, ritualer og åndelighed. “We bring fun and emo-indigenous Afro psychedelic fire from the hood,” siger forsanger Kgomotso Mokone meget rammende. Efter plus 20 år på scenen er BCUC mere aktuel end nogensinde før og klar med et nyt album på Out Here Records til foråret, der rygtes som bandets bedste til dato.
Fra de første bandøvere i en shippingcontainer nær den kirke, hvor den legendariske biskop og aktivist Desmond Tutu organiserede modstanden mod apartheid, har BCUC bevæget sig ud på verdens største scener – fra Glastonbury og Roskilde til Womad og Afropunk. I 2023 modtog de den prestigefulde Womex Artist Award som anerkendelse for deres frygtløse arbejdsmoral og transformerende liveoptrædener. Sidste gang BCUC optrådte på ALICE var det for en bragende udsolgt sal og et publikum i fuldstændig ekstase, og vi forventer intet mindre, når de vender tilbage til maj. Glæd dig til en aften, hvor dansegulvet forvandles til et kollektivt ritual, når BCUC sætter ild til krop og bevidsthed med deres medrivende musik.

In English:
Surrender to the trance with BCUC from Soweto, South Africa! The seven-piece collective has repeatedly turned entire Roskilde Festival crowds into ecstatic devotees, and the last time they played at ALICE, it was to a packed-out room in total euphoria. We expect nothing less when BCUC return to Nørrebro this May with funky grooves, magnetic percussion and raw punk-rock energy. They bring along their forthcoming album “The Road Is Never Easy” (Out Here Records, 2026), and the first single already signals an intense, rhythmically captivating and consciousness-expanding experience.
BCUC – Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness – describe their music as “a hedonistic trance and a weapon of political and spiritual liberation.” It is precisely in this tension between celebration and emancipation that a unique and compelling force arises. With Afro-futuristic, psychedelic and irresistibly groovy percussion, magnetic call-and-response vocals and unstoppable energy, they draw lines back to South African icons such as Philip “Malombo” Tabane and Batsumi, filtering this heritage through hip-hop, punk-rock urgency and the burning questions of our time. This is music that insists on an Africa rich in traditions, rituals and spirituality. “We bring fun and emo-indigenous Afro psychedelic fire from the hood,” says frontman Kgomotso Mokone fittingly. After more than 20 years on stage, BCUC are more relevant than ever, with a new album on Out Here Records arriving this spring—rumoured to be their best to date.
From their first rehearsals in a shipping container near the church where the legendary bishop and activist Desmond Tutu organised resistance against apartheid, BCUC have journeyed onto some of the world’s biggest stages—from Glastonbury and Roskilde to WOMAD and Afropunk. In 2023, they received the prestigious Womex Artist Award in recognition of their fearless work ethic and transformative live performances. The last time BCUC performed at ALICE, it was to a sold-out hall and a crowd in complete ecstasy, and we expect nothing less when they return this May. Look forward to an evening where the dance floor transforms into a collective ritual, as BCUC set body and mind ablaze with their electrifying music.
