TOMMY KHOSLA PRESENTS FREDA D’SOUZA & ALYA ISHA // CONTEMPORARY GENRE DEFYING MUSC

  • Grow 98c Wallis Road London, England, E9 5LN United Kingdom (map)

British sitarist and composer, Tommy Khosla returns to host and curate another evening of modern world music with artists from his creative community.

This event is hosted by Vadi Records

Freda D’Souza is an artist who contentedly creates at snail’s pace. Her world is small; simplicity reveals detail and, in turn, detail reveals infinity. Her songs place the unspeakable intensity of love and life within a warm and shimmering sonic world, filled with layered vocals, lush strings and dynamic arrangements. Out June 2023, her debut EP Windowledge explores the trials of intimacy and the value of introspection and forging space for reflection. Freda cherishes space. In space, there is tenderness.

Alya Isha

South-London soulstress, poet and multi-instrumentalist, Alya Isha pioneers ‘Nu World Soul’ music: a new sound for a new world. Bringing with her to Grow the incredible Lou Stipe, which on double bass - and if we're lucky, the astounding Ffion Campbell Davies on frame drum and tabla.

Born and raised in Japan, moving to Tooting, London and then Santiago de Cuba before returning to Brixton; the British, Indian-Mauritian and Swiss artist takes inspiration from her roots; creating a unique fusion of sounds and adding her trademark of hard-hitting political lyricism.
