Brian d’Souza’s Auntie Flo live band brings a global lineup of outstanding musicians together for a thrilling fusion of electronic, percussive and world‑inspired sounds.

Performing tracks from five acclaimed albums, the band moves effortlessly from club‑energy to deep musical storytelling the same versatility that’s seen them close major festival stages and sell out iconic venues like London’s Jazz Café.

The band’s rotating cast of talents includes Moncaya (Mexico, vocals), Ziggy Funk (UK, Guitar), Cyrus Atkinson (UK, Keys), Sarathy Korwar (India Drums), Andre Marmot (UK, Percussion), Ambasa Mandela (Kenya, Vocals) and Mame Ndiack (Senegal, Talking Drum), all working alongside Brian on electronics, synths, drum machines and effects.

Over a career spanning 15 years, Auntie Flo has made their name by ‘taking World Music into the future’ (The Guardian), ‘pushing boundaries’ (Phonica Records) and being ‘one of the most inventive talents of our time’ (Test Pressing). Albums include last year’s ‘Birds Of Paradise’ (no 5 in Disco Pogo’s albums of the year), 2024’s ‘In My Dreams (I’m a Bird and I’m Free)’, which included 2024 track of the year Green City, 2018’s ‘Radio Highlife’, released on Brownswood records to massive acclaim, picking up the SAY Award for Scottish Album Of The Year, and 2015’s ‘Theory Of Flo’, awarded 9/10 by DJ Magazine.

They’ve played everywhere from the Sub Club to Glastonbury, but have really made their name by seeking out-of-the-ordinary and adventurous performances: street parties in Cuba, mountains festivals in Nepal, beaches in Goa, artist residencies in Brazil, rooftops in Kenya, New Year’s Eve celebrations in Japan and even sun rituals in the Arctic Circle.

As a DJ, Brian has DJ’d extensively in Europe and shared stages with the biggest names in the industry, with memorable back to back sets with the likes of Bradley Zero, Axel Boman, Daniel Avery, Optimo and many more. Auntie Flo live has featured on three Boiler Rooms and multiple times on BBC radio, with mixes and sessions for the likes of Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Tom Ravenscroft and Rob Da Bank. Brian has held DJ residencies at the likes of Glasgow’s legendary Sub Club and London’s much missed Plastic People.
