Strut proudly commemorates its 25th Anniversary as a pioneering force in the global music scene.

Renowned for its rich and diverse catalogue of compilations, reissues, and new artist albums spanning African, Caribbean, and Latin music, jazz, soul, funk, disco and post-punk, Strut has made an indelible mark as one of the finest labels in its field.

To celebrate, performing live will be Ethiopian icon Mulatu Astatke and his band. A trailblazer and creator of the Ethio-jazz genre, Astatke continues to reach audiences across the world with his unique, widescreen sound and his band of incredible A-list musicians. This is a rare chance to catch him in an intimate venue setting.

Joining the bill is Flock, a five-piece ensemble showcasing the best of London’s jazz and improvisational scene. The group features Bex Burch (fresh from her debut solo album on International Anthem), Sarathy Korwar, Tamar Osborn (Collocutor, Dele Sosimi, Unknown To Known), Danalogue (The Comet Is Coming / Soccer96) and Al MacSween (Kefaya).

Following the live show, there will be a club night with label friends Danny Krivit and a special guest. More info here.
