Performatively, a pop-culture critique, body percussion dancer, harmonica DJ, and folk-jazz musician having worked with festival favourites like Nok Cultural Ensemble (Edward Wakili of Ezra Collective and Nubya Garcia), London Borough of Culture; Country on the Common, Fela Kuti & Egypt 80 band (Seun Kuti), and London Symphony Orchestra.
With Jala-Jala, one moment you’re wrapped in the soft tones of meditative improvised melody, the next you’re caught up in the earthy drive of visceral outpouring of power, with nods to the theatrical and world music-influenced soundscapes along the way. Music that moves, but it also breathes - relaxed, generous, and deeply human. It leaves space for groove, improvisation and those moments where the music suddenly lifts the whole room.
Jala-Jala offers sound which is both extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world, with the energy and passion that seeks to awaken what sits beneath.
She offers ethereal beauty as a singer, with an exquisite natural voice. Her sound feels like sharing something she genuinely loves, with you.
