about
Brother Zulu give hope that British soul music is not a dwindling phenomenon, as some older readers may claim. Their description of themselves as a ‘Future Soul’ collective feels apt. They mesh different styles seamlessly, marrying an experimental approach with soulful undercurrents. After receiving an email asking me to consider reviewing their debut single, I have since been fascinated with the band. A few weeks ago, they performed a sold-out gig at The Constitution pub in Camden, North London. Performing in the venue’s cellar-turned-music-space, they delighted the audience with coruscating instrumentals and their greasy, arresting grooves. It is no surprise that they have been selected as a BBC ‘Artist of the Week’ in the past. A group of five young men – Lawrence (flute and keys) , Noah (bass), Max (vocals), Alex (guitar) and Youssef (drums) – their genre-bending approach is influenced by their diverse musical backgrounds.
