About this event
A very special Saturday night with Congolese-British artist Liz Ikamba, bringing her distinctive Congo alt-pop and Afro-soul, blending traditional influences with global diasporic sounds including jazz, dub-reggae and neo-soul! Support comes from Baldo Verdú, playing set rooted in Afro-Venezuelan tradition, rhythm, and identity. This show is part of the EFG London Jazz Festival. Creating music driven by polyrhythm, deep basslines and powerful soul vocals, and described as ‘ Erykah Badu, Sade and Nina Simone with a Congolese twist’ , Liz Ikamba seamlessly blends musical styles with intimate songwriting, a contemporary diasporic perspective, and the rhythmic, melodic traditions of Central Africa. Her work explores themes of storytelling, identity, heritage and belonging, with a warm tone, global awareness and lyrical depth. Liz sings in both English and Lingala, and her immersive and participatory performances invite audiences into a shared experience of rhythm, movement and connection. Jamboree food option : Our ‘Zer’ kitchen is open from 5pm serving delicious Middle Eastern fusion food for you to enjoy a meal/snack if you wish! Find the menu HERE ! JAMBOREE IN ACTION! Join us for a night of wonderful live Congolese music in London
