The streets of South London where roots and dancehall rub shoulders with Afro beat, hip hop and dub provides the recipe for Soothsayers' organic and unique sound.
The powerful vocals from, the elder statesman of Afrobeat, Adesose Wallace summons the sprit of Africa '70 to the stage. Add to this a slice of chunky horns and back up vocals from co-writers and producers Idris Rahman and Robin Hopcraft and a rhythm section that'll rock you till sunrise featuring musicians working on the cutting edge of the UK music scene as well as performing with many of the big names from Africa and the Caribbean.
Soothsayers have been building a reputation as an exciting and inspirational live act.
'Now and again an album comes apparently out of nowhere that hits
you straight between the ears'.
The Times
'Thrilling harmonies ... seriously infectious dance floor oriented grooves ... goose bump inducing vocals'
The Guardian
'An impressive mosaic of Afrobeat,
dub and funky fusion ... dynamic volleys of call and response ... cascading horn riffs and melodies'
