Chinese Man @ 229 The Venue

By bureau export | Published April 17, 2012

Chinese Man is a French collective of Trip-hop created in 2004 in Marseille, South of France. Their mystical sound is a mix of hip-hop, funk, dub, reggae and jazz beats. They appear to the public and quickly made their name thanks to their jazzy tube “I’ve got that tune”,  the same song who was also chosen for the TV spot of Mercedes in 2006.

The three boys from Marseille High Ku, Sly and Zé Mateo sure know how to move the crowd, thanks to their audio-visual spectacular  show !

After selling out their last show in London in November playing in front of an inflamed audience, they are back this Thursday April 19th at 229 the venue to present their latest album “Racing with the Sun” with their first FULLY live London show. They will be joined on stage by South African MC Tumi

Here is a little taster of their surprising beats:

And last but not least, we have something for you to enjoy the maximal experience at a minimal price !  Follow our special link  here for some discounted £14 adv tickets instead of the normal £20 adv, but Shhhh, that’s a secret. Be quick, number is limited !
