Monzanto Sound presents a unique show featuring some guest artists and musicians that are part of their collective and network. This event will be about sharing a soul connection between creatives and they will be creating a space to feel the freedom and fluidity of improvisation through generosity. They will be merging funk beats with African percussion, neo-soul with dub effects to showcase some new and exciting material. Off the back of their debut album The Channel , which was critically acclaimed in the Observer and Radio 6, they will be taking that concept further in this one time only performance. Monzanto Sound are a rising, South East London-based music collective fusing together different styles from the African Diaspora and combining them with a hypnotic, psychedelic edge. A high-energy, rhythmic group with an ear for space and simplicity, their sonic aesthetic is carefully considered. Traversing through jazz-inflected funk, psychedelic trip- hop and cosmic neo-soul, they connect the dots using pulsating grooves, hypnotic polyrhythms and sublime vocals. Deeply committed to the far-reaching, infectious and unifying power of music, and passionate about the alchemical practice of sonic storytelling, Monzanto Sound are fast becoming ‘ones-to-watch’ on the vibrant, London music scene since their debut release of ‘The Channel' last year on None More Records. They are proud to present a new and exciting show with Rua Soul, Mischa Stevens and Eekuida as guest artists.

Dom Pipkin

Alongside a glittering session career (David Byrne, Ray Davies, Morcheeba), piano player and songwriter Dom Pipkin has been described by Blues in Britain as “one of the world’s greatest exponents of New Orleans piano”. He first discovered the New Orleans style in the early 90s, and has gone on to become a regular visitor and performer in that city, with appearances that include the highly acclaimed “Piano Night” and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival. He is a regular fixture on the European blues and boogie Woogie festival circuit having played 1000’s of club and theatre, radio and TV dates in a career spanning nearly three decades. Jazz star Jamie Cullum says “I can’t hold a candle to this guy”. Pipkin developed a particular specialisation for the unique flavours of maverick New Orleans piano star James Booker (1939 - 1983) capturing the player’s trademark combination of driving blues married with rhapsodic classical influences. He was invited to play at the world premiere of the documentary “Bayou Maharajah” at SXSW in 2014, and at multiple subsequent screenings of the film. Pipkin regularly performs and records in New Orleans, and has shared stages with legends such as Allen Toussaint, Dr John and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Grammy award winner Jon Cleary invites him to jam whenever he’s in town. In live shows Pipkin mixes his own compelling songwriting with blues and Big Easy classics.
