 ankinltd/1187989\n\n\n\n\nBanco de Gaia has been performing and releasing 
 for over 25 years now\, along the way becoming one of the music industry
 ’s most maverick innovators.\nHis legacy is as glittering as it is diver
 se\, ranging from Hollywood film sound credits to the critically acclaimed
  ‘Last Train to Lhasa’\, first released in 1995 to a rapturous recepti
 on. His live act still packs out venues and festivals all over the world\,
  with audio-visual performances renowned for their explosive\, cutting edg
 e quality: from sampling wizardry fused with haunting vocals and poignant 
 acoustics to genre-hopping musical instrumentals\, all accompanied by soci
 ally 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 electronica during the 1980s acid ho
 use era. By the early 90s\, after winning respect for a clutch of credits 
 on the Ambient Dub compilations\, he was signed to Planet Dog Records and 
 released ‘Maya’\, in 1994\, and then ‘Last Train to Lhasa’\, in 19
 95.\nLong known for their scorching live shows\, Transglobal Underground a
 re back in full form after emerging into a new post-Covid\, post-Brexit wo
 rld and have been blowing audiences away around the UK in 2022 and 2023.\n
 They’ll be playing the Lewes Con Club with a special one off soundsystem
  sized trio.\n\nTransglobal Underground came into being during the electro
 nic dance scene of the early 90s. Pioneers in the mixing of club culture w
 ith world music\, their first single ‘Temple Head’ went Top 30 and the
 ir debut album\, ‘Dream of 100 Nations’ top 20.\nThey became best know
 n for their live shows which made them festival favourites and have seen t
 hem touring worldwide ever since. Along the way they picked up a BBC World
  Music award for their seventh album ‘Moonshout” been a DJ collective\
 , a techno soundsystem\, a Middle Eastern hit production team\, a backing 
 group for an Albanian brass fanfare\, a seminar\, a medicine show and seve
 ral things that no one involved would admit to if they could even remember
  them…\nThe current lineup is based around original 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 st
 orytelling scene\, and Rav Neiyyar (Bollywood Band). All appeared on the c
 ollective’s most recent release ‘Walls Have Ears\,’ along with other
  regular members of the TGU family\, notably original vocalist Natacha Atl
 as\, who still performs with the band on occasion.
