A concert by a really cool English band at a fair price in Milan. It seems impossible, but it's exactly like this: Ezra Collective will play at the Magazzini Generali on October 27th.
For those who don't know the band, Ezra Collective is a collective led by drummer Femi Koleoso (already on tour with Gorillaz since 2020) and composed of bassist TJ Koleoso, trumpeter Ife Ogunjobi, saxophonist James Mollison and keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones . Their sound is a delicate and groovy mix of jazz, afrobeat, hip hop and soul. In other words, super cool.
Since 2019 the band has released three albums, You Can't Steal My Joy, Where I'm Meant to Be (which won the prestigious Mercury Prize for best English album of the year in 2023) and Dance, No One's Watchingthe latter released at the end of September and capable of entering the English top 10 of the best-selling albums in the United Kingdom.
Ezra Collective are also one of those bands loved by other artists and the various featurings brought home from the beginning to today include the most intrigued and respected artists on the English scene: Jorja Smith, Loyle Carner, Kokoroko. Sampa The Great, Olivia Dean, Nao and, above all, Emeli Sandé.
Ezra Collective is for those who love Kendrick Lamar, but also Sun Ra, for those who appreciate songs written well and played even better. Their only Italian date on the Dance tour, No One's Watchingproduced by Vivo Concerti, is therefore an unmissable event.
