Døre kl 19 / koncert kl 20
Bemærk: Koncerten foregår på URBAN 13

Wayne Snow indtager scenen med varm nigeriansk soul og R’n’B med smørblød vokal, boblende rytmer og afrofuturistiske understrømme. Den kenyanske rapper Nah Eeto åbner aftenen og DJ Agnete Hannibal (Escho) vender plader.

De forførende toner fra Wayne Snows smørbløde soul og R’n’B får øjeblikkeligt varmen til at brede sig helt ud i fingerspidserne. Det er musik, som kombinerer et moderne take på de solbeskinnede og sjælfulde vibes fra hans hjemland med neo-soul, alternative pop, soultronica og jazz. Wayne Snows nigerianske musikalske arv blandet med referencer til kunstnere som Sade, King Sunny Ade, Marvin Gaye og Fela Kuti svøber musikken i et varmt, blødt tæppe, ligesom hans dybe kærlighed til afrofuturismen fornemmes som et klippefast fundament under de levende kompositioner.

Live er Wayne Snow ene mand på scenen lige dele betagende og gådefuld. Han har tidligere tryllebundet publikum på scener som Londons Shepherds Bush Empire og Berlin Arena. Vi kan altså kun have høje forventninger, når Wayne Snow gæster ALICE til marts med sit seneste album “Figurine” (2020). 

Nah Eeto

Den kenyanske rapper Nah Eeto bygger bro mellem Nairobis og Londons respektive hip hop-scener og skaber en fusion, hvor hun ufortrødent skifter mellem engelsk og swahili og hvor hun samtidig trækker tråde til begge kulturer. Nah Eeto har pt. base i København og vi føler os ovenud heldige at kunne have hende med som en del af denne aftens lineup.

In English

Wayne Snow is Nigerian soul / R’n’B with compelling vocal, soft grooves, and Afrofuturistic links. We’re looking forward to presenting him at ALICE with Kenyan rapper Nah Eeto opening the ball and DJ Agnete Hannibal (Escho) spinning some sweet tunes between the shows.

There’s an undeniable warmth to Wayne Snow’s music, one that combines a contemporary take on the sun-kissed, soulful vibes of his homeland with neo-soul, alternative pop, soultronica, and jazz. His musical heritage and upbringing in Nigeria listening to artists like Sade, King Sunny Ade, Marvin Gaye, and Fela Kuti shines through, as does a deep respect and love for Afrofuturism. It’s an integral part of his musical journey, a quest to shape sounds and express his vision of the future. Like Sun Ra before him, his goal is expansion – to situate his art on a different plane altogether, and to explore how music can inform the mind.

His work is alive in the truest sense, naturally channeling his Nigerian DNA and the rhythms of his upbringing. It’s no surprise that he’s drawn to bass and drums – “I make them ‘talk’”, he says – or that he sees melodies as color, to be swirled and mixed to shift moods and feelings. Live, he’s a revelation, possessing an absolute mastery of the stage that’s won over crowds from London’s Shepherds Bush Empire to Berlin’s Arena and beyond. We can’t wait to present Wayne Snow when he hits ALICE in March. 

Nah Eeto

The Nairobi native Nah Eeto has spent the last couple of years bridging the gap between Kenyan and UK hip hop, by creating a fusion style of rap that draws on influences from both cultures as she seamlessly switches from Swahili to English in her seducing songs. Nah Eeto is currently living in Copenhagen and we’re deeply honored to have her on the roster for this night.
