Ushti Baba are a riotous gypsy-folk outfit who play hypnotic trans-European melodies and jungle rhythms. Their gypsy jungle/turbo folkstep sound is a fusion of traditional folk music and modern dance rhythms that inspire frenzied limb-flinging, heart palpitation and general fervour. Beatbox, double-bass, banjo, guitar, violin, accordion, cello, trumpet and percussion - their multi-instrument setup has appealed to both commercial and folk festivals. 

In 2015 they played thirty-four UK festival gigs, over thirty gigs across the UK, toured France and were main support for Dreadzone, The Correspondents, Gypsy Hill, Babyhead and others. Highlights include closing Friday night on the Jolly Dodger at Boomtown Fair, headlining Gypsy-Fest at The Fleece in Bristol, Priddy and Broadstairs folk festivals, Glastonbury (Bimble Inn), Bestival (Polka Stage), Eden (Main Stage), Secret Garden Party, and Bearded Theory.

A new EP is set for 2016 as well as video releases and tours to Germany and Italy - folk music never had it so bad!

The podcast sees two worldly-wise football and music nuts – James Labous and Alex Lawson – bring together their loves to tell the tales of a different nation’s sporting and musical stars each episode.
