Founded by Ade Bantu in 1996, BANTU is an iconic Nigerian band merging afrobeat, highlife and funk with fiercely political lyrics. At the crossroads of African traditions and global sounds, their music denounces corruption and injustice. Known for high-energy performances, they’ve collaborated with Seun Kuti, Burna Boy and Tony Allen. As initiators of the Afropolitan Vibes concert in Lagos, they champion a militant, modern vision of afrobeat.
