The Nigerian-born, Ghana-based artist Tommy Wa headlines The Poetry Club with music blending African folk, Bon Iver and Michael Kiwanuka.
Tommy Wa plays The Poetry Club on Wednesday 21 October, with doors opening at 7pm. The show is presented by DF Concerts, and the venue is on the ground floor of SWG3 at 100 Eastvale Place, G3 8QG.
Wa is a Nigerian-born, Ghana-based artist whose work draws from mid-20th century African folk music. He describes himself as a poet, visual storyteller and singer-songwriter, and he's built his sound around Afro soundscapes that blend contemporary folk, indie and retro-soul rooted in his Nigerian heritage. If you're familiar with the glistening atmospheres of Bon Iver and Michael Kiwanuka, that's a good place to start for the kind of textures he works with.
