We’re thrilled to announce that Kasai Masai will be bringing their vibrant rhythms to this year’s Hidden Beach Festival in Hastings! Known for their infectious blend of Congolese soukous, rumba, and traditional African beats, this London-based band promises a musical journey straight to the heart of the Congo Basin—without ever leaving the coast.

Led by charismatic frontman Nickens Nkoso, Kasai Masai fuse ancient tribal sounds with contemporary grooves, creating an irresistible sound that’s both deeply rooted and globally resonant. Expect pounding percussion, melodic guitar lines, and vocals that uplift and energize—perfectly in tune with the soul of Hidden Beach.
