The Budos Band will join Thievery Corporation and The Black Pumas at Release Athens 2024
Release Athens 2024 welcomes The Budos Band on Tuesday, July 9th, at Plateia Nerou. The New York supergroup, a staple in the wider soul/funk scene, along with headlining acts Thievery Corporation and Black Pumas, guarantee one of the more entertaining nights of the summer.
Based in Staten Island, New York, and inspired by their love of James Brown’s funk, Fela Kuti’s Afrobeat and Mulatu Astatke’s Ethio-Jazz, The Budos Band created a unique sound that led them to the legendary Daptone Records, where they released some of the best albums in the genre over the last 20 years.
During this time, they have worked as session musicians for the biggest acts in the scene, from Charles Bradley and Sharon Jones to Amy Winehouse and Lee Fields, while their rich discography has earned them several notable fans, like Madonna (who invited them to perform at her birthday party), Iggy Pop and the Wu-Tang Clan.
In 2023, they embarked on a new and important chapter in their career, founding Diamond West Records and releasing the EP “Frontier’s Edge”, which takes their sound into an even more adventurous territory. On Tuesday July 9th, we will be lucky enough to witness one of the most restless and entertaining bands of our time on a night that promises to be unforgettable.
