In collaboration with Jazz Herstory, we are excited to present a series of live performances, featuring a line-up of true talent from the upcoming London jazz scene. This is an integrative platform, aiming to bring women from the background to a balanced foreground in jazz.
NÉRIJA
First up – Nérija, a London-based collective playing exciting and original music inspired by Jazz, Hip Hop, Afrobeat and South African Township.
Their eclectic repertoire has appealed to not only the UK jazz scene but also given them a presence within rap and pop-focused festivals. This collective were winners of the Jazz Newcomer Parliamentary Jazz Award 2017 and Jazz FM Breakthrough Act of the Year 2016 nominees. They will be showcasing work from their unreleased new album as well as picking from their critically acclaimed self-titled 2016 EP.
