From Warri (Nigeria) childhood to London stages, EyiTemi transforms personal struggle into an electrifying show backed by 8-piece band and support from classical pianist Edison Roberto Carolino (The Piano,UK) and dancer Lois Samphier Read (Contemporary, Hip Hop, Afro)
The British-Nigerian
singer songwriter at her highly anticipated EFG London Jazz
Festival performance, takes to the stage with raw honesty, rare
tenacity and creative energy
With her heart rooted
in Jazz, 2x BBC Jazz Awards innovation panel judge EyiTemi, walks a
path that is comfortably and firmly, her own. Her music is
personal, self written and rich with intention 'I feel I have a
voice in my piece of earth and my ambition is to express this
honestly through my music'.
EyiTemi's presentation
for the festival is the culmination of a 3 part special series that
focuses on the exploration of her Afro roots. In this spectacular
genre bending showcase, she turns up the Afro 'volume' in the blend
with soul, jazz, gospel, spoken word and on this night,
classical.
This night introduces
new unreleased music and re-imagined tracks spanning 3 albums
including the well received latest single, Fighter (recently
featured on Jazz FM's late track of the week)
"The existence of
mavericks such as EyiTemi is a welcome spanner in the far from
perfect works...a poised and commanding delivery..." Kevin Le
Gendre (Journalist, Broadcaster, Author)
"Storytelling that
refuses to be confined to a single lane!"
EyiTemi is joined by
support act, Brazilian classical pianist and music director, Edison
Roberto Carolino. Fresh from stunning singer songwriter Mika and
Grammy winning musician Jon Batiste on Channel 4's The Piano,
Edison will be breathing Brazilian sunshine into his classical
piano performance on the night.
"He's playing us into the sunset. What a gift…” Jon Batiste
"This is probably some of the best techniques we've seen so far…” Mika
Completing the
support slot is talented young dancer Lois Samphier Read. She will
be bringing her brand of Contemporary, Hip Hop and Afro dance into
the mix, performing to the LIVE band
Join us to experience
this unique show as well as an artist completely in her element.
EyiTemi's commanding vocals, personal stories and warm delivery
celebrate her Afro roots and resilience, sharing the universal
truth that our deepest struggles can become our greatest
strength!
