Nubiyan Twist leverer en energifyldt fusion af jazz, funk og soul, som det er nærmest umuligt at stå stille til. Det syv personer store ensemble er kendt for deres fænomenale liveshows og spillede sidste år en komplet udsolgt koncert på ALICE. Til efteråret vender de tilbage med ny besætning, nyt liveshow og det aktuelle album “Chasing Shadows” (2026).

Nubiyan Twist blev dannet i 2011 på Leeds College of Music, hvor de skabte deres storladne og genremættede lyd med tråde til jazz, hiphop, afrobeat, dancehall, soul, reggae og elektronisk musik. Ensemblet tæller ni musikere på alt fra saxofon og trompet til vokal og percussion, som sammen skaber varme, medrivende grooves og livsbekræftende sange.

Bandet har gennem årene opbygget et ry som et af de stærkeste livebands på den britiske scene. Deres udgivelser og koncerter har høstet begejstring hos både publikum og medier – blandt andet NPR, som beskriver deres lyd som “Joyous, beautiful and rich”. Efter samarbejder med navne som Nile Rodgers, Tony Allen, Seun Kuti og Fatoumata Diawara fortsætter Nubiyan Twist med at udforske nye musikalske forbindelser på tværs af kulturer og generationer. Vi glæder os til at byde dem velkommen tilbage på ALICE efter sidste års stuvende fulde koncert.

In English:
Nubiyan Twist deliver an energetic fusion of jazz, funk and soul that is nearly impossible to stand still to. The nine-piece ensemble is renowned for their phenomenal live shows and played a completely sold-out concert at ALICE last year. This autumn, they return with a new line-up, a brand-new live show, and their latest album “Chasing Shadows” (2026).

Nubiyan Twist was formed in 2011 at Leeds College of Music, where they developed their expansive, genre-blending sound drawing on jazz, hip hop, afrobeat, dancehall, soul, reggae and electronic music. The ensemble consists of nine musicians spanning saxophone, trumpet, vocals and percussion, together creating warm, infectious grooves and life-affirming songs.

Over the years, the band has built a reputation as one of the UK’s strongest live acts. Their releases and concerts have received praise from audiences and media alike — including NPR, which described their sound as “Joyous, beautiful and rich”. Following collaborations with artists such as Nile Rodgers, Tony Allen, Seun Kuti and Fatoumata Diawara, Nubiyan Twist continue to explore new musical connections across cultures and generations. We look forward to welcoming them back to ALICE following last year’s packed-out concert.
