Luca Afrobeat Band or Luca for short: 8-piece ensemble of jazzrockers from Canterbury take inspiration from a wide scope of influences including 70s funk, jazz, afrobeat, and psychedelic rock to make their own unique stamp on the modern afrobeat revolution.
The band self-released their debut EP in 2014 which showcased their strengths as a band: tight musicianship, a disparate blend of styles and original afro-funk compositions delivered with an intensity more often heard in rock music; the EP paved the way to UK festivals and headline shows. 2015 is set to be the next chapter for the band, with a full album in production for a summer release, and a host of brand new original afro-funk tracks that push the boundaries of afrobeat even further.
