THE SCORPIOS + THE FLOTSAM ORCHESTRA, LIVE @ THE JAGO
The legendary Sudanese-London collective The Scorpios brings their electrifying Eastern funk & soul-infused Afrobeat to perform live at The Jago, supported by the incredible global-roots ensemble The Flotsam Orchestra!
Hailing from Central Sudan and now based in London after fleeing the fundamentalist takeover in that region, the 10-piece psychedelic Afrobeat band, The Scorpios, meld Arabic rhythms and guitar with raw Eastern funk and Western jazz, in a cyclical swooning ecstasy.
Dismantling cultural barriers in pursuit of a unifying rhythmic bliss, heavy bass, synths, horns and percussions drive through traditional Sudanese forms to create a sound that owes as much to Detroit as it does to Khartoum.
Supported by The Flotsam Orchestra, an incredible 30-piece global roots ensemble bringing together talented musicians, spanning diverse backgrounds and cultures. United by a vision to play music that transcends boundaries, their unique sound creates an uplifting and truly spellbinding celebration of unity and diversity!
Join them on their musical journey across the globe that will take you from Ethiopia to Chile, Pakistan to Finland and many more, showcasing material from a week-long residency in South-East London. Promising unforgettable and border defying performance, with music from all corners of the world!
