Soznak the band

`Soznak` street performances create dancing in the street, illuminate grey days and create a community in Northumberland street- the UK’s most busy shopping street. The performances are totally accessible and included musical influences from all over the world. The performances convene many cultures young and old, posh dads left with their toddlers whilst their partners shop, dead beats galvanized into displays of weird dancing, teenagers admiring photogenic percussionists and jazz fiends digging sloppy jazz. This is the music of the north east of England’s multicultural society and includes musical influences from Iraq, Angola, Cuba, Spain. Large crowds have gathered in the street to enjoy these performances and spontaneous eruptions of joy have been common.  Paul bream of jazz north refers to Soznak as the Multicultural guerrillas.
