Eco-Friendly-Afro-futuristic-Punk-Assemble returns to the Fox after last year's uncomparable performance. Fulu Miziki roughly translates as “music from garbage” which is in a literal sense is an accurate description of the thrillingly chaotic collective of artists who comes straight from a future where humans have reconciled with mother earth and with themselves. This multidisciplinary collective is based in Congolese capital city Kinshasa. For several years now, it’s members have spent an amount of time conceptualising an orchestra made from objects found in the trash, constantly changing instruments, and always in search of new sounds. Making their own instruments, costumes, and masks is essential to the approach of Fulu Miziki’s musical core ideology. Their unique sound supports a pan-African message of artistic liberation, peace and a severe look at the ecological situation of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the whole world. For Fulu everything can be recovered and re-enchanted. Presented by The Fox & Firkin. This is an 18+ event

A chance to check out up-and-coming bands on London's underground music scene.

The Madalitso Band are a two man musical army from Malawi. Described as 'Uplifting and Vibrant' by the BBC, they get crowds beaming with wonder and moving with joy every time. Their first album was produced by Bongo Joe records and the band has already performed at Glastonbury, Womex, Womad, Roskilde, Sauti Za Busara, Shambala, Boomtown...to name just a few. The band plays the babatone - a popular home-made instrument in Malawi - and the four-string guitar, creating the traditional Malawian 'banjo' sound. When not playing or touring, babatone player Yobu Malinga works as a gardener and guitarist Yosefe Kalekeni works as a security guard, however around Malawi they are increasingly revered as musical prophets.
