Formed in London in 2002 the original lineup included six different nationalities; French, Swedish, Algerian, Estonian, Australian, and English. The potential of this incarnation was never realised as bandleader and piano player Ludovic was tragically killed in a car accident in Monte Carlo. It was over one year later that the band decided to reform and pursue an acoustic sound and, in a tribute to Ludovic, the name Ludomix was chosen.
This new version of the band still boasted three nationalities and began to perform in the pubs and clubs of Camden Town playing a North African flavoured mixture of Rai, funk, Latin sounds with an unclassifiable energy. The crowd reaction was amazing, spurring the band to continue to develop their unique style.
In summer 2004 they secured a fortnightly residency at The Mint Bar and the sound of Ludomix was in the air. In 2005 following the demise of the Mint Bar Ludomix began to appear regularly at the Darbucka Club and it was following some memorable nights there that the band were asked to play at London's Rise Festival, the Thames festival, and the Off the Tracks festival at Donington park, supporting Oojami and Hawkwind.
While remaining true to their acoustic roots Ludomix had expanded to a full electric band, fit to perform on big festival stages, and are now joined by electric bassist Mike Flynn. Recent performances have also featured stunning female vocalist Mor Karbasi and legendary African-jazz percussionist Mamadi Kamara. The full electric band has a powerful sound that encompasses Rai and North African sounds mixed with funk, rock, Latin and African sounds and rhythms; all of which takes Ahmed’s songs and myriad cultural influences on a whole new and exciting musical adventure.
