CUT CAPERS are a 9-piece Bristol band whose energetic live performance and infectious sound have won them a cult following on the British festival scene. Mixing a heavy 4-piece brass section with funk, jazz and hip-hop. Like all the best bands, their sound is hard to pin down but comparisons have been made to “Lianne La Havas, Hot 8 Brass Band and The Streets” among many others (The Bristol Magazine).

Cut Capers have established themselves as go-to festival favourites, playing headline shows and main stage performances at some of the UK’s biggest festivals including Glastonbury and Boomtown Fair. They have now performed in over 70 cities across 10 countries including Italy, Turkey and Bahrain.

Their second studio album Metropolis received critical acclaim and national airplay on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Bristol and BBC Radio Wales. The release, alongside subsequent remixes, has clocked over 10 million streams on Spotify alone.

Their third album Sightseeing & Short Negotiations, released September 2023, has been championed by DJs at Radio 6 Music and Jazz FM, including a berth in the prestigious A List as well as being Jazz FM's "Album of the Week" in January 2024.

Using original recordings from the mountains of Nepal, the deserts of India and the jungles of Australia and Central America,  Nango Manchay  has learned and incorporated instruments from all corners of the earth to create an original sound the spans borders and traditional genres.

The result is the expansive album  Under Our Sun which was released on  Desert Trax  on  April 5th 2019. From the opening hit of Varanasi Flame to the closing notes of Diambura the Nango Manchay sound envelops and hypnotizes. The guitarist and sitar player also features on the seminal album  Grouch in Dub and his lush string sound has found a home on  Desert Dwellers label. Nango Manchay’s music is filled with gorgeous melody at each stop along the cosmic journey. Rich, pulsing midtempo breaks and more intricate downtempo and bass-centric musings are held together by the connective thread of real bowed, plucked and strummed strings. 

“Under Our Sun  is a tribute to the unification of humanity and the common goals of peace and understanding that is an underlying part of what makes us all human,” he notes “We are all under the same sun, we share this planet together and this album represents many cultures uniting to create music of beauty that reflects the awe and grandeur of nature, our shared home and the depths of our own consciousness.”

Nango Manchay has collaborated with many artists and has releases planned with Desert Dwellers and Nanosphere over the next year as well as a new Nango Manchay EP.
