The Afronauts from Krakow | Global Music | Music Interview | New International Music

Recorded in Kraków, this interview with The Afronauts, one of Poland’s leading Afrobeat bands explores Afro-Polish identity, cultural exchange, and the global evolution of Afrobeat. Formed in 2019, the multinational group brings together musicians from Poland, Morocco, South Africa, and the United States, drawing inspiration from Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti, Tony Allen, and Ebo Taylor.

We discuss Poland’s place in a changing world, the influence of Afrobeat as a social and musical force, and how The Afronauts fuse classic Afrobeat with Moroccan, South African, jazz, and funk traditions. Known for their high-energy live performances, the band views Afrobeat as more than a genre—it’s a communal practice rooted in rhythm, movement, and connection.

Welcome to the official YouTube Channel of SAMA: Music & Art – An immersive Series of Music & Art Performances focused on the Healing Power of Global Sacred Music 🎼

Mission:
SAMA cultivates a hub for global roots music in the Pacific Northwest, fostering empathy across cultures through transformative music and arts experiences.

Vision:
A polyphonic world, a world where many worlds fit.

About Us:
SAMA emerged as a response to the fragmentation and polarization in today’s societies. In a world beset by wars, authoritarianism, ecological degradation, and climate change-induced displacements, our need for relationship skills has never been greater. Despite being globally connected, we often fail to truly listen to each other. Music has the power to bridge these divides, engaging the right hemisphere of the brain, which governs experience, emotion, and relationships. At SAMA, we celebrate music's inherent ability to connect us to our shared humanity and ancestral roots.

We focus on live performances to tap into the communal and social aspects of music, creating relationships among musicians, audiences, and the music itself. By experiencing music together, people from diverse cultural backgrounds can develop a greater awareness and appreciation of different ways of being within our shared humanity. SAMA envisions a world where this awareness, rooted in empathetic social experiences, nurtures a polyphonic world — a world where many worlds fit.
