About this Event
British-Congolese artist Liz Ikamba returns to The Jago with her band, bringing an electrifying fusion of Afro-soul, dub-reggae, jazz, hip-hop, and deep Congolese grooves—an unmistakably bold, boundary-breaking and vibrant sound. Think Erykah Badu, Sade, and Nina Simone—but with a raw and rhythmic Congolese twist.
Singing in both English and Lingala, Liz crafts a blend of storytelling and intoxicating sound, pulling us into a world where past and present, influences from across the African Diasporad to the UK, collide in an energetic, immersive experience. Expect deep basslines, hypnotic kora, infectious percussion, and soul-fuelled harmonies—plus a vibe that’ll have you moving all night.
Come for the soul, stay for the groove. This is more than a gig—it’s a sonic journey.
