Join Rara Zulu and her live band for an intimate musical performance.
Known for her dark electronica exploring sensations of vulnerability, experiences of love, and her contagious wit, this performance will reveal new experiments in creating soundscapes, as well as performing her new work ‘Noli’, presented as part of And she was wearing trousers: a call to our heroines. Grounded in polyrhythmic drum patterns and commanding vocals, ‘Noli’ is inspired by southern African heroines such as iconic jazz artists like Dorothy Masuka, remixed as a reimagined portrait of a Bla(c)k woman and simultaneous homage.
Joining Rara Zulu will be DJ Kalyani and her catalogue of Bla(c)k Pop, Rap, Booty Bass, and modern global club sounds.
