No Congo No Music !
We are bringing together Black British Jazz Musicians and Poets to support Focus Congo, during Congo Week featuring LIZMNK and EvilBisexualDJ curated by Shea Butter Jazz Club
About Focus Congo
Focus Congo invests in young people and leaders in Congo, builds partnerships with local grassroots organizations and creates access to resources necessary for survival. Focus Congo promotes a vision for justice and peace in the country.
LIZMNK
With distinctive vocals and undeniably otherworldly sound, East London’s lizmnk offers rhythmic soundscapes and ethereal lyrics - much like poetic incantations. Her alternative approach moves between electro-soul, punk and jazz. The songstress and self-taught producer draws from inspirations spanning from the timeless vocals of Sarah Vaughan to the experimental sounds of Massive Attack and Gorillaz. Breaking onto the London music scene in 2023, she has since graced stages and headline shows in venues such as Tate Modern, Cafe Koko, Ronnie Scott’s, and 180 Studios. lizmnk has also received support from Brick Lane Jazz Festival, BBC Radio 6, Foundation FM, Brownswood Record label and more.
EvilBisexualDJ
My name is Dani N’Guessan, I am a poet, DJ and of Ivorian descent based in North-West London. My poetry is homegrown alchemy. Taking various losses and feelings of grief and transforming that pain into art that speaks to all kinds of people. I hope to be a source of motivation and an ambassador of hope.
