DeFalco Presents: Osekre and The Lucky Bastards

"A open-throated rasp, he presides over a similarly multi-cultural melange of sounds. An Afrobeat verse gives way to a punk rock shout-along chorus before bursting into ska. The pieces fit better than they should, and guitarist Raja Kasis and drummer Dan Burdman move between sounds so effortlessly you wonder why no-one has really tried this before. We can only hope this is the start of a movement of Afrobeat / punk rock bands. More please." - Afropunk

"This Afro-indie band can't be pinned to any one genre but instead transcends all, with lyrical and reflective beats. The band "turns local sounds global and brings global sounds local" with its clear African influence, but its sound goes beyond this, creating a universal funk that anyone would want to jam to. "
