The young British jazz band Sons of Kemet must be experienced live. As newspaper The Guardian wrote about their latest album from 2015, Lest We Forget What We Came Here To Do: “Sons of Kemet related his audience already two years ago, and they do it even better now.

There are influences from Africa and the Caribbean, there are classical jazz, ther’s dub, there’s rock, there are references to literature and political awareness. This super band won in 2013, the same year as the debut album Burn came, “Best Jazz Act” at The Music of Black Origin Awards. They have nominated to Urban Music Awards and Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Awards. And 8th of October, they come to Gothenburg for an intense, energetic and intimate gig at Oceanen.
