Frenetic jazz ensemble Sons Of Kemet bring their electric live show to a number of key UK venues as part of their European wide tour. 

Meddling with jazz, rasta rhythms, Caribbean folk, traditional African sounds and more, the Mobo award winners are one of the most original set ups you'll see when the grooves start rolling and the drums heat up to channel their authentic world sound. 

Latest album Lest We Forget What We Came Here To Do extends their debut Burn's eclectic authority with its far reaching sound scape that explores a multitude of cultures. 

Ahead of the dates they've just released the video for 'Play Mass', a track that oozes rumbling percussion, jaunty horns and buoyant sax rhythms to accompany the off-kilter video complete with gold dancing women wearing Velociraptor heads. (Watch that above)
