New trio mixes afrobeat, cumbia and highlife with melodies that draw threads to the musicians' Nordic background, where reminiscences of folk songs, anthems and ballads can be heard.
With playful lightness and the seriousness of death, they create rhythms and sound that are both grounded and clear, but also energetic and danceable.
The music was written by Niclas on a trip to Zanzibar, where the encounter with the warmth, nature and not least the people inspired him to write new music that conveys the beauty, openness and not least the presence he experienced.
Niclas is known for decades of searching for new ways to play improvised music in bands such as Ibrahim Electric and Kalaha, and works in this trio with a more meditative and calm expression.

Ny trio blander afrobeat, cumbia og highlife med melodier, der trækker tråde til musikernes nordiske baggrund, hvor reminiscenser af folkeviser, hymner og ballader kan høres.
Med legende lethed og dødsens alvor skaber de rytmer og lyd, der både er jordbunden og afklaret, men også energisk og dansabel.
Musikken er skrevet af Niclas på en rejse til Zanzibar, hvor mødet med varmen, naturen og ikke mindst menneskene, inspirerede ham til at skrive ny musik, der formidler den skønhed, åbenhed og ikke mindst det nærvær, han oplevede.
Niclas er kendt for i flere årtier at have søgt efter nye måder at spille improviseret musik på i bands som eksempelvis Ibrahim Electric og Kalaha og arbejder i denne trio med et mere meditativt og roligt udtryk. Jonathan har med duoen Bremer/McCoy fornyet den nordiske jazz og tilfører denne trio sit klare og stærke bas spil. Felix er kendt fra Tabloid og Alex Vargas og sørger med sit virtuose trommespil for, at musikken hele tiden er spændstig og levende.
Gaffas anmelder Ivan Rod skrev om bandets debut:
”Musikken som helhed er groundet, stringent og spændstig, insisterende og inviterende; båret af guitaren, stærkt suppleret af trommerne og bassen. Og skønhed? Det er altså et ord, der beskriver udtrykket som helhed. Bushbabies er, tror jeg, en kommende klassiker.”
