Auntie Flo (Full Live Band)

Brian d’Souza’s Auntie Flo live band brings together a host of talented musicians from around the world to perform tracks spanning five acclaimed albums' worth of material.

A unique global/electronic fusion, the band is equally at home closing the main stage of festivals such as Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here, as they are selling out shows at the likes of London’s renowned Jazz Cafe. The band’s rotating cast of talents includes Moncaya (Mexico, vocals), Ziggy Funk (UK, Guitar), Cyrus Atkinson (UK, Keys), Sarathy Korwar (India Drums), Andre Marmot (UK, Percussion), Ambasa Mandela (Kenya, Vocals) and Mame Ndiack (Senegal, Talking Drum), all working alongside Brian on electronics, synths, drum machines and effects.

Over a career spanning 15 years, Auntie Flo has made their name by “taking World Music into the future” (The Guardian), “pushing boundaries” (Phonica Records) and being “one of the most inventive talents of our time” (Test Pressing). They’ve played everywhere from the Sub Club to Glastonbury, but have really made their name by seeking out-of-the-ordinary and adventurous performances: street parties in Cuba, mountain festivals in Nepal, beaches in Goa, artist residencies in Brazil, rooftops in Kenya, New Year’s Eve celebrations in Japan and even sun rituals in the Arctic Circle.

As a DJ, Brian has DJ’d extensively in Europe and shared stages with the biggest names in the industry, with memorable back to back sets with the likes of Bradley Zero, Axel Boman, Daniel Avery, Optimo and many more. Auntie Flo live has featured on three Boiler Rooms and multiple times on BBC radio, with mixes and sessions for the likes of Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Tom Ravenscroft and Rob Da Bank. Brian has held DJ residencies at the likes of Glasgow’s legendary Sub Club and London’s much-missed Plastic People.
