Newen Afrobeat Bring Chilean Afrobeat to London

Newen Afrobeat, a band that started in 2009 in Chile, brings its unique blend of Afrobeat to London. The group revisits Fela Kuti's musical heritage while incorporating influences from their own country's aboriginal roots, including Mapuche culture. Their music celebrates the environment, indigenous rights, women's empowerment, and multiculturalism.

Attendees can expect a live performance that is also a demonstration in support of the Mapuche cause. The band's style finds inspiration in Nigerian Afrobeat, but also delves into modern sounds of jazz, electronic, funk, rock, and soul. With a history of collaborations and a focus on authentic, energetic performances, this show offers a chance to experience a band that has performed at Glastonbury Festival and toured Europe.
