Future Yard are excited to welcome African Head Charge for their 45th Anniversary. Known for their transcendent live performances and studio work, African Head Charge combines African traditions with modern dub and experimental electronic elements, creating a hypnotic sound that defies genres. Their live shows pulse with tribal drum beats, soulful chanting, and deep, thrumming basslines, all elevated by heavy electronic sampling. This evolving, powerful live sound continues to inspire both their loyal fanbase and a new generation of listeners worldwide.Off the back of their first release in 12 years, A Trip to Bolgatanga is a stunning return, bringing together the talents of two masters who, after a hiatus, have created a rich album brimming with ideas and executed with finesse. A Trip To Bolgatanga is a musical journey to Bonjo’s current hometown in north Ghana. A psychedelic travelogue across the landscape featuring their trademark hand percussion and group chanting augmented with rumbling bass, mutated horns, dubbed out effects, wild wah-wah, haunted voodoo dancehall, synthetic swells, disco congas, tumbling layers of electronic effects, blues-inflected woodwind, and funky organ.
As with every On-U Sound production, each repeated listen reveals fresh detail, and its power won’t be really understood until heard on a big system, when it’ll reduce all competition to rubble.
With a discography that continues to resonate across generations and a visual identity that captivates the senses, African Head Charge stands as a testament to the power of music as a force for connection and cultural expression
