[ZONBI ]( Founded in 2024 in Paris ZONBI blend their no wave influences with jazz and fuse them with mizik rasin,a genre born in Haiti centred around drums and voodoo rhythms. The result is rasin wave. https://www.instagram.com/zonbi_ ZONBI is raw, intense; it doesn’t charm, it cuts right through you. At the heart of the band, the saxophone spits out dissonant incantations in dialogue with the powerful, frenetic rhythms of the bass and drums duo.Dimitri Milbrun’s lyrics, sung in Haitian Creole, aren’t there for decoration but to make a stand. A zonbi is a soulless body, stripped of its free will: the band sees this as a mirror, reflecting a world that locks everyone into a box.ZONBI rejects this obedience and re-enacts it at every gig, haunted by the Bois-Caïman, the night when Haiti’s history took a dramatic turn in improvised collaboration with FINDOM Findom ( Financial Domination ) is a London-based music collective featuring musicians from all four corners of the globe (Buenos Aires and Tokyo among them...) Colliding the energies of dub, no wave, goth, jazz and punk, the sound produced is a rhythmic cacophony - part satire and part protest; confronting themes of class deterioration / societal decay and a corrupt UK government Featuring members of Kuunatic / Jerkcurb / King Krule / Stiffany and the Nits / Nabihah Iqbal / October and The Eyes / Gal Go / Dunce + many more x ————————————————— Avant - Groove collective + London scene legends Dura improvise a set with Herman’s; a genius new female-fronted jazz punk 6-piece with trumpet and steel pan!
