Namvula effortlessly weaves together a global soundscape that takes inspiration from the deep grooves of Africa, the lyrical sensibility of folk-pop and the improvisational freedom of jazz. Born in southern Africa to Zambian and Scottish parents, her music reflects the realities, nuances and complexities of a diasporic restlessness.

Set to release her third compilation of work this year, we’ll be the first London audience to hear these new songs. Our common humanity in these distressed times is her preoccupation. She is “A true original…a soulful performer” \* \* \* \* The Guardian
