United Vibrations

Event information

United Vibrations

United Vibrations have arrived. Born from Inner Space, they are on a journey of cosmic proportions.

Music is their vessel. A sound forged from diversity. They are united in voice and rhythm.

Cosmodelic Afro-Punk, Mulatto music, whatever you want to call it - it is HERE and it is NOW!

United Vibrations are: Ahmad Dayes (Trombone & Vocals), Wayne Francis (Saxophone & Vocals), Yussef Dayes (Drums & Vocals), Kareem Dayes (Bass & Vocals) and YOU (Participant, Listener, Observer and Creator).

Inspired by Fela Kuti, Bob Marley and other great musicians, United Vibrations have sought ways to make the music they make a part of a greater movement. In doing so they have founded 12 Tone CIC. This is a record label which donates all its profits to building Zero Waste, Energy Plus, Carbon Negative social housing, re-connecting urban people with the land and the natural processes which sustain us all.


Tanya Auclair

Citing influences as wide-ranging as Bongo Joe Coleman, Juana Molina, The Staple Singers, Laurie Anderson, Matthew Herbert and E.S.G, Tanya Auclair's instinctive approach shows in a beguiling mix of DIY drums, vocal layers, intricate melodies and touches of electronica.

Tanya builds her songs live on stage, sampling her voice with a loop pedal, playing ukulele, guitar and percussion. Her latest EP 'Origami' is out now.

"...big discovery for me" (Gilles Peterson, BBC Radio 1).
