Soweto Kinch to preform with the London Symphony Orchestra at Printworks in March
Award-winning UK saxophonist and rapper Soweto Kinch will preform his latest album in full on with the London Symphony Orchestra at Printworks in March.
Saxophonist, rapper, poet and composer Soweto Kinch will perform his latest album White Juju at Printworks in South London. The show will be one of the last to take place at Printworks before it closes for a number of years for refurbishment. Taking place on March 16th, the concert will see Kinch’s quartet once again team up with the London Symphony Orchestra for a full performance of his widely acclaimed, politically charged White Juju project.
White Juju was written in response to lockdown, BLM, British history and the culture wars and melds Kinch’s distinct approach to jazz and hip hop with classical music—it draws broad inspiration from European folklore, the African Diaspora and divisive national myths to create a uniquely contemporary tone poem.
“It fascinates me how we’re all acquainted with an unspoken architectural and symbolic language of power” says Kinch. “How do these monuments or myths affect how we see ourselves as a nation? Naming the piece White Juju deliberately inverted ideas of the ‘savage’ or primitive. Perhaps the bizarre fetishes and obsessions of a cult religion are more visible in modern Britain than third world countries.”
White Juju is out now via all major streaming and download services. Click here to listen.
