USHTI BABA

Ushti Baba: Riotous folk fusing hypnotic transEuropean melodies with modern dance rhythms. Heavy beatbox-driven foot-flinging fervour with multi-instrument set up and soaring harmonies from the heart.

Ushti Baba pay warm tribute to their traditional folk roots whilst bringing a fresh perspective that relentlessly and fiercely captures the attention of audiences.

The Bristol-based 7 piece has been tearing up venues and festivals since 2013, with countless headline and prominent slots across the UK and Europe. In 2019 they enjoyed their first primetime radio play on BBC 6 Music.

New EP 'a class issue' was released in January 2020: five tracks of unique, undeniable acoustic rave, with tales of ghost ships, ancient cosmology and forgotten popes; an exploration of cultural identity and cross-boundary connections with influences from klezmer to sea shanties to slip jigs and beyond. Youth lends his magic with a bonus dub mix of original Morris-flecked track Industry.
