Info
Newen Afrobeat performs at Band on the Wall on 3 September 2026 at 6:30 pm. Newen Afrobeat is a Chilean-Latin American afrobeat band with over a decade of activity. The group blends the legacy of Fela Kuti with Latin American rhythms, jazz, funk, and a clear political and social focus.
Formed in Santiago, Chile, Newen Afrobeat performs with horns, percussion, and lyrics that address themes of identity, resistance, memory, and collective consciousness. Their sound links African roots with the urban pulse of modern Latin America.
Newen Afrobeat has toured across the Americas and Europe, including an appearance at Glastonbury Festival as the first Chilean band to perform there.
The project combines music and message, inviting collective participation through groove and dance.
