Some Lo fi moments of Tuesday. I’m humbled and honoured to have fulfilled a dream of mine with my music and my band @balimayaproject and our extended family who joined us on stage. We packed out the @barbicancentre you know?? Little old me? From Harlesden to this. With our traditional music. Our folklore and our disaporic perspective. ***This is also a call to action. Life is going on and great things are happening yes, but there are horrible events taking place around us. The music we play doesn’t just speak to the black experience but the experience of all oppressed peoples. I pray for a Free Palestine 🇵🇸 in our lifetime. March speak protest and advocate in anyway possible. From the river to the sea 🤲🏿*** Thank you @nubya_garcia @obongjayar @afronautzu my friends, colleagues and pioneers in their respective fields, for joining us in this career defining moment! @sophiathakur who gracefully opened the space for us your voice talent and insight that is infinitely beyond your years has touched so many people. I’m honoured to have worked with you on this. Big thanks to @ju.lia.lua for pushing and believing in myself and my vision and being an advocate for @balimayaproject in many different rooms. Huge big up to @scarlettslife @nothabss and the volunteers for making sure things stay running and fluid backstage and on it. @_rich_chie for the amazing after party and the @thestandardlondon for the space to celebrate and @stay__wavey for keeping the vibes pushing on stage and off. @iamfods @labrumlondon thank you for your belief and love for what we do. Thank you for kitting us out in your amazing work that compliments our journey perfectly. 7years we’ve been working together feels like just yesterday that we met! I love you bro 🩵 This is just the beginning. @jazzrefreshed x @newsoilmusic @marathonartists we move! #balimayaproject #mandejazz #whenthedustsettles

↪️📱Half of the work for this album is based in its visual components. @adeoluosibodu has used his amazingly unique eye to refine my vision and sight and brought ‘When The Dust Settles’ to life. I even offed shirt which is something I never do but Alhamdoulilah for shea butter and angles 🤲🏿😂 I Hope that you find this body of work as immersive as I do. As challenging and comforting too. Thank you for all your support …. See at the @barbicancentre on the 17th October 🩵 @colinedunya on the assist 🎥🩵 Link in Bio! @balimayaproject 🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿 #balimayaproject #mandejazz #whenthedustsettles
