Lenna Bahule | A L P H A B E T | Brighton

Yoyomá Live presents Lenna Bahule

On her first visit to Brighton and the UK, Lenna Bahule, a Mozambican artist, brings her new show, Do Leste em Diante, also featuring longtime collaborators Cauê Silva (percussion), Kiko Woiski (bass & vocals), and Ed Woiski (guitar & vocals). For this performance, Lenna will be joined by Chris Franck from the London-based band Da Lata.

The show offers an intimate sonic journey that blends ancestral and contemporary influences, crossing Mozambique, Brazil, and the Southern Hemisphere. The band performs songs from KUMLANGO (Lenna's latest album) alongside unreleased material from Lenna’s ongoing research into transatlantic sound connections and songs from East Africa.
