Malena Zavala Live in Brighton

Malena Zavala, the Argentinian-born artist and producer, is set to play a gig right here in Brighton later this month. She splits her time between London and Mexico City, and her music reflects that blend, weaving her Anglo-Latin heritage into a sound that’s often described as hypnotic. She’s known for creating ethereal textures paired with poetic lyricism, resulting in what has been called a 'spellbinding sonic experience.' It’s quite impressive that she’s entirely self-taught; she even wrote, recorded, and produced her 2018 debut album, Aliso, in her parents' garage before releasing her second album, La Yarará, in 2020.

If you’re looking to catch her live, she’ll be at The Folklore Rooms (12 North Street, BN1 3GJ) on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. The show, which is being presented by FORM, kicks off when doors open at 19:30 (7:30 PM). She’s bringing along the artist Sophie Jamieson as support for the evening, so it looks like a full night of music. For those planning ahead, keep in mind that this is strictly an +18 event.

Her sound palette is wide-ranging, drawing influences from artists like Devendra Banhart, Beach House, Feist, Brian Eno, Tame Impala, and even the Cuban folk musician Silvio Rodríguez. This diverse mix gives her work a real depth, especially considering her extensive touring history across Europe and the UK. Regarding tickets, they are currently listed around £18.00 or £18.54, depending on the vendor, and you can usually find them available through platforms like See Tickets and DICE. The prices are just a guide, of course, and may change daily.
