African Soul Rebels featuring Les Amazones D'Afrique, Gasper Nali and N’famady Kouyaté

Book tickets

African Soul Rebels, Music Beyond Mainstream’s trailblazing live series, is reborn for a new era — celebrating fearless artists who reshape tradition, challenge borders, and put rhythm at the centre of resistance and joy.

Leading the charge are the electrifying L’Amazones d’Afrique — the powerhouse collective of West African artists whose music fuses ancient roots with urgent, future-facing sounds and a message of strength, unity and change.

From Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage to President Obama’s playlist the voices of Les Amazones d’Afrique are being heard worldwide. Female warriordom has never sounded so fierce – or so danceable.

Joining them is the phenomenal Gasper Nali, a not-so-traditional babatoni player from the shores of Lake Malawi. With his 3-metre-long, one-stringed homemade bass guitar, a stick and an empty beer bottle, plus a cow-skin kick drum and collaborators on percussion and guitar, he creates impossibly danceable Afro beats with playful, joyful hooks.

N’famady Kouyaté has been building an enthusiastic UK audience with his unique musical style ever since he relocated to Wales from Guinea in 2019. His primary instrument is the balafon – a traditional wooden xylophone, sacred to West African culture and his family heritage of the griot/djeli. Winner of the 2023 Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition, N’famady’s music is a blend of his West African heritage and western musical influences from the likes of Super Furry Animals and The Flaming Lips.

This isn’t just a gig.
It’s a revival of a movement.
A celebration of African creativity, resistance and innovation — past, present and future.
