Latest Festival Flyer update from Greenbelt
[ad_1]
There are two more names joining our music bill for Greenbelt Festival 2024.
➡️ We’re partying from Lagos to London with London Afrobeat Collective
The 8-musician strong London Afrobeat Collective will be grooving their way through the fields this summer. Their music is as eclectic and inter-continental as the band itself, a tight-knit family of crack musicians from England, Italy, France, Congo, Argentina and New Zealand.
Celebrated for their raucous energy, heavy dance grooves and conscious lyrics, the LAC are a party machine with meaning, inspired by Fela Kuti’s political conscience as much as his genre-defining music.
Taking inspiration from afrobeat’s father as well as such artists as Ebo Taylor, Parliament Funkadelic and Havana d’Primera, LAC’s multi-lingual performances in English, Spanish, Lingala and French have won them admirers across Europe.
Their brand new album is called Esengo, which means ‘joy’ in Lingala, and we cannot wait for them to bring that joy to Boughton.
➡️ We’re raising the roof with The McCrary Sisters
Welcome to the gospel according to The McCrary Sisters. This gospel trio have sung all their lives, performing with Stevie Wonder, Isaac Hayes, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Mary J Blige and many more, but only began singing together under their own name in the last few years.
In doing so they were fulfilling a long-held wish of their late father Sam, who was a lynchpin of the legendary gospel quartet, The Fairfield Four. Having lost their sister Deborah in 2022, Ann, Alfreda and Regina vowed to keep the family’s music alive in tribute to their sister.
Their life-affirming live sets are packed with their own brilliant original songs and gospel classics, effortlessly switching between gospel, soul and foot-stomping R&B. We think they’ll bring the house down. Make sure you’re there to bear witness.
