The heavy afro-soul sound of the Shaolin Afronauts created major global buzz this year with the release of their debut album Flight of The Ancients on UK label Freestyle records. Lauded by lovers of afrobeat for their unique take on the sounds of 1970’s West Africa the Shaolin Afronauts spirited performances have fast gained a reputation as some of the most exciting live shows around.
Inspired by the sounds of 1970’s West Africa, Ethiopia and the pioneering avant-garde jazz artists of the same era, Flight of The Ancients combines and extends these influences into a lyrical musical journey from the Sahara all the way to Saturn.
This September Australian audiences will have the opportunity to experience this 12-piece afrobeat juggernaut in action, playing music from their debut full length release.
