Newen Afrobeat

Newen Afrobeat is one of the most powerful and influential bands in the Chilean and Latin American music scene. With over a decade of experience, the band has become a leading voice of contemporary afrobeat, blending the legacy of Fela Kuti with Latin American rhythms, jazz, funk, and a strong political and social identity.

Formed in Santiago, Chile, Newen Afrobeat is known for its explosive live performances, driven by a solid horn section, hypnotic percussion, and lyrics that address themes of identity, resistance, memory, and collective consciousness. Their sound bridges African roots with the urban pulse of modern Latin America.

Newen Afrobeat has toured extensively across the Americas and Europe, performing at major festivals and international stages, and making history as the first Chilean band ever to perform at the Glastonbury Festival. Their music has been widely praised by both critics and audiences, positioning them as key ambassadors of Latin American afrobeat on the global stage.

More than just a band, Newen Afrobeat is a sonic and political experience — a collective ritual where groove, dance, and message come together to celebrate diversity, community, and the transformative power of music.
