Babylon Picks concerts continue with Nubiyan Twist on February 21 at Babylon.

“An elegant yet earthy hybrid of jazz, UK soul, and highlife.” This is how the established London-based music magazine Uncut defines the DNA of the city’s colorful and always dynamic collective, Nubiyan Twist. The band presents a blend of virtuosic players, skilled producers, and inspired composers joining forces to create a unique, infectious sound. 2024 has seen the band embark on a fresh musical odyssey with the announcement of their vibrant fourth album, Find Your Flame.

Over the 12 tracks of Find Your Flame, the band seamlessly weaves together global grooves, soul, and jazz. Nile Rodgers, Seun Kuti, Mamani Keita, and Ria Moran are among the musicians who visit the Nubiyan Twist universe for this album, which is expertly interwoven with electronic elements, horn-led melodies, and spontaneous improvisation.

The heady, sun-drenched tunes of Nubiyan Twist are taking over Babylon on February 21—something not to be missed!

The Babylon Picks concert series is guided by a thoughtful curation process; a practice akin to preparing a mixtape for those we care about. Fair warning: the acts featured in this series may surprise and delight you, potentially becoming your new favorites.
