There are few acts in the UK with as strong an influence or as complex a legacy as the mysteriously legendary Transglobal Underground. Trying to describe what it is and what it was has defeated the most eloquent of journalists and those involved in TGU itself have made no effort to help, refusing to define themselves on the grounds that it wasn’t their job to do so whilst also rejecting any signs anyone attempted to hang on them.
So what is Transglobal Underground? Well, over 25 years it’s been DJ/musical collective, one of the founders of global fusion, a working band famous for it’s scorching live shows, a techno soundsystem, a folk festival rabble rouser, a pop group, a club night, a Middle Eastern hit production team, an improvised study group for Indian classical music, an Albanian brass band, a duo..or was it an octet?…a seminar, a medicine show and several things no one involved would admit to if they could even remember them.
It all started with a bunch of disgruntled musicians, singers, DJ, writers and sampler geeks hanging round the cramped offices of West London label Nation Records. Primitive computers were stretched to their full possibilities, beaten up analogue synths kept working by screwdrivers and willpower, mashed up cassettes and turntables serviced a heady concoction of club grooves, dub, bhangra, rock, digital hardcore and oriental melody, relying on inspiration and a massive belief in the need to create something new.
But the main line that goes through the history of Transglobal Underground was defined at the beginning and continues onward. Onstage it’s a joyful and unpredictable journey into the bottomless vaults of the Transglobal catalogue, whether featuring members of the original lineup, or more recent and diverse additions to the TGU family. Over the years Transglobal Underground has developed a life of its own and goes where it will for its own reasons. Everyone else simply follows.
Join us for a huge night of global music, where TGU will be playing music from their last album ‘Walls have Ears’ as well as all their well-known tracks, with current regulars Hamid Mantu, Tuup, Sheema Mukherjee, Tim Whelan and Rav Neiyyar.
