Grammy-winning, multi-instrumentalist musical genius Meshell Ndegeocello brings her fearless genre-blending and rhythmic poetry to Camden's KOKO, journeying through soul, r&b, jazz, and rock.
Incredibly accomplished, renowned, talented, yet criminally underrated, Meshell Ndegeocello is now just about starting to receive her flowers. She made her Blue Note debut last year with the acclaimed The Omnichord Real Book, winning the first Grammy for Best Alternative Jazz Album.
Singing in English and Xhosa, Ndegeocello's Black Atlanticism encompasses language, fashion, and musical style, ceaselessly musically identifying and defining the curious ‘third space’ identity. It's no surprise that it was her who sparked the neo-soul movement.
Now, on the back of an immensely successful 2023, she comes to the KOKO, for what will no doubt be a packed show. Join her on a journey through genre and style, through rhythm and poetry, through the continents of culture. The time for you has come to take Meshell Ndegeocello seriously as an international treasure.
