After a hiatus of over a decade, Abakush is back. Back with a new look, new brand, new tunes, renewed energy, but still carrying the same powerful message. This predominantly female 9-piece group from Brixton was formed in 1981 by a group of like- minded individuals. They originally performed as Abacus, which evolved into Abakush and now Kush Abakush – ‘Abba’ of Aramaic origin – the common word for father in modern Hebrew and ‘Kush’ representing the Motherland. Whilst Abakush is widely considered a reggae group, they incorporate elements of Jazz, Soca and Gospel into their sound.
