All live shows are on hold during the global COVID-19 crisis. Stay safe and we’ll see you soon.
Tekwani is a collision of hip-hop, latin, jazz and cinematic-western music. Fuelled by the spiritual and artistic vitality of Melbourne/Naarm.
The music features a unique stringed instrument from Cuba called a Tres and combines this with horn(s), synths and rhythm section. This is all topped off by the relentless Spanish rhymes of Colombian rapper Clandestino. Band members have toured countless festivals and shows all over the world, from Glastonbury to Woodford, South America to South Australia, in bands such as Vance Joy, Amaru Tribe, Saskwatch, Pataphysics, Good Luck Omen and many more.
