Flying Bantu are an Afro-Fusion act right from underneath the magical spray of the mighty Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Their unique fusion of rock, reggae, funk and jazz along with a traditional African signature makes for an indulgent and meaningful listening experience. Here to play at Rocking The Daises for the second year in a row, Flying Bantu are fresh on the Cape Town scene and ready to delight hearts and ears with the warm and uplifting sound.

Flying Bantu - together the five exude energy and Southern African flavor as they sing about being human, being African, and everything in between; both beautifying and challenging humanity’s complex existence. “Our hope is that we are a product whose reach transcends the borders set by culture, race, religion and even genre in a grand quest for a togetherness amongst citizens of the world. We all have a common yearning to be free, to dream and to succeed; as such, our goal is to travel the world, and spread the word through our work. We pride ourselves as an original “festival act” with the flexibility that allows for a few covers in the case of a private audience”. 

Audience Responses

An interesting sound from Zim but after an hour and a half, I found the music a bit repetitive. Plus, in such a small venue, it is hard to keep the volume down with keyboard, drums, lead guitar, base guitar and vocals.
