Pangolin is a 7-strong band based in Oxford, UK. Formed in early 2016, it aims to explore and exploit the natural overlaps between funk, jazz, soul and hiphop, developing original works that juxtapose virtuosic vocal lines and florid instrumental solos with searing spoken word and finger-tight grooves. The group draws its influences from a wide range of artists, such as J Dilla, Robert Glasper, Hiatus Kaiyote, Snarky Puppy, GoGo Penguin, Vulfpeck, and Radiohead, backed up with the rich tradition of centuries of classical music in which many of the band members first sharpened their creative teeth.
