Bio
BronzeHead is a 10-piece group from London, formed in 2010 to make new music inspired by the raw & heavy funk rhythms of 1970's West Africa. During this era, bands in countries like Nigeria, Ghana & Benin mixed traditional African rhythms together with funk & soul to form thrilling new genres such as Afrobeat, Afrofunk & Highlife. These sounds have incited dancefloor chaos for decades, and at the very core of BronzeHead is the desire to do just that.
Representing 5 different nationalities and with past musical experience in rock, reggae, hip hop, jazz, ska, and electronic, BronzeHead's all-original interpretation of Afrobeat is unique and versatile, informed by our diverse cultural backgrounds and grounded in our daily experiences and challenges in London.
