xperience the raw power of African voices in harmony.

The pounding rhythms of Africa blended with the explosive energy of a live 6-piece band. This vibrant group of Zulu performers combined with seasoned musicians from the UK mix ancient tradition with contemporary flare. Ubunye deliver a soulful, goosebump-inducing performance of original pieces cleverly fused with South African songs. It is a fantastic multi-cultural experience.

Winners of the 2023 Parliamentary Jazz Award for Best Ensemble.

“Ubunye is a joyous celebration and proof, should it be needed, of the creative energy and unity possible when cultures meet through the medium of music. Rejoicing in their wide-ranging backgrounds, ages and styles, they were a surefire hit with the Manchester Jazz Festival audience, uplifting the soul with their close vocal harmonies, undulating rhythms, and affirmative lyrics, and with a powerful facility to reach and affect listeners far beyond the reaches of jazz.” – Steve Mead, Artistic Director, Manchester Jazz Festival.
