Support comes from Baldo Verdú, playing a set rooted in Afro-Venezuelan tradition, rhythm and identity.
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.
