THE sound of folk music meeting urban music is coming to Broadmayne Village Hall on Saturday, May 19.

Namvula, who is set to appear at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend this summer, comes to the village courtesy of Artsreach,

Creating an intrepid new world where folk and urban traditions of her Zambian homeland blend with London’s vibrant eclectic music scene, Namvula crosses boundaries with a refreshing honesty and evocative lyricism, transporting listeners into different worlds whilst staying firmly rooted in African soil.

Her debut album Shiwezwa was released in 2014 to critical acclaim, and was selected as one of the top 100 albums of 2014 by The Sunday Times.

With Namvula's highly anticipated second album ‘Quiet Revelations’, the gifted song-sculptress digs deep in to her inspirations, exploring different aspects of female hood. Call 07443 659912 for tickets.
