 coming one of the music industry’s most maverick innovators.His legacy i
 s as glittering as it is diverse\, ranging from Hollywood film sound credi
 ts to the critically acclaimed ‘Last Train to Lhasa’\, first released 
 in 1995 to a rapturous reception. His live act still packs out venues and

  haunting vocals and poignant acoustics to genre-hopping musical instrumen
 tals\, all accompanied by socially engaged visuals.\nBehind Banco de Gaia 
 is artist Toby Marks. Starting out as a drummer in a metal band\, he began
  using sampling kit to cut his own tunes after falling in love with electr
 onica during the 1980s acid house era. By the early 90s\, after winning re
 spect for a clutch of credits on the Ambient Dub compilations\, he was sig
 ned to Planet Dog Records and released ‘Maya’\, in 1994\, and then ‘
 Last Train to Lhasa’\, in 1995.\nLong known for their scorching live sho
 ws\, Transglobal Underground are back in full form after emerging into a n
 ew post-Covid\, post-Brexit world and have been blowing audiences away aro
 und the UK in 2022 and 2023.They’ll be playing the Lewes Con Club with a
  special one off soundsystem sized trio.\n\nTransglobal Underground came i
 nto being during the electronic dance scene of the early 90s. Pioneers in 
 the mixing of club culture with world music\, their first single ‘Temple
  Head’ went Top 30 and their debut album\, ‘Dream of 100 Nations’ to
 p 20.\nThey became best known for their live shows which made them festiva
 l favourites and have seen them touring worldwide ever since. Along the wa
 y they picked up a BBC World Music award for their seventh album ‘Moonsh
 out” been a DJ collective\, a techno soundsystem\, a Middle Eastern hit 
 production team\, a backing group for an Albanian brass fanfare\, a semina
 r\, a medicine show and several things that no one involved would admit to
  if they could even remember them…\nThe current lineup is based around o
 riginal members Hamid Mantu and Tim Whelan and features the UKs best known
  sitarist Sheema Mukherjee (also of Cornershop\, Imagined Village\, TUUP\,
  a major figure on the UK storytelling scene\, and Rav Neiyyar (Bollywood
