About

The Beyene Affair are a Brighton-based indie soul trio who also blend the smooth inflections of jazz, hip hop, psychedelia and world music. Formed through a tangle of mutual friends and late-night jams, their music is a reflection of their outlook —born not from ambition, but from a genuine love of sound and connection.

Rooted in Brighton’s vibrant and eclectic grassroots scene, The Beyene Affair draw inspiration from the city's coastal energy and alternative spirit. Their genre-blurring style speaks to an audience hungry for authenticity, rhythm, and a touch of the unexpected. Whether in a dimly lit venue or an open-air concert, their sound invites you in and keeps you swaying.
