ABOUT BCUC
Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness (BCUC) is a live music-performing band from Soweto, South Africa. Their music derives from a blend of genres across the ages. They draw inspiration from Indigenous music that is not exposed in the mainstream. They sing ritual songs, around the fire hood songs; shebeen songs, church songs and we infuse them with raps and a rock and roll attitude. They always aim for a timeless, honest and traditional/ ritualistic sound. The music should always resonate with the spirituality, the history and the future of the people. Bantu Music (Africa Ngungungu) is not constrained to where we are from instead it recognizes human connection regardless of geography, culture or social standing. It is music for the people by the people with the people
The band is made out of seven band members, Jovi (lead singer, percussions), Kgomotso (backing vocals, percussions), Hloni (raps, ad libs, percussions), Luja (raps, backing vocals, marching drum), Cheex (congas), Skhumbuzo (bass drum) and currently are playing with a session bass guitarist, Mosebetsi.
