BCUC

BCUC – Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness – have been channeling the spirit of Soweto for over twenty years, fusing indigenous funk, hip-hop consciousness, and punk rock energy into something utterly original and deeply rooted, and we’re delighted to welcome them back to Greenbelt. They started out rehearsing in a shipping container, a stone’s throw from the church where Desmond Tutu organized the escape of anti-Apartheid activists. In 2023, BCUC were honoured with the prestigious WOMEX Artist Award, an accolade usually reserved for more established artists, in recognition of their fearless work and transcendent live performances.
