Hybrid urban club sound: afro, bubbling, dancehall and baile funk, cut with hip hop and trap
Bantu is where it started for Nocturna. Afro, bubbling, dancehall, baile funk, hip hop and trap come together in one high-energy sound. Built in Ghent, carried by a growing community and known well beyond the city by now.
