About
Join us in an evening of varied performances to commemorate the unique South African jazz singer songwriter and composer Estelle Kokot. A regular fixture at the Vortex and a multi collaborator with many like minded artists, Estelle composed unique powerful, political and socially conscious songs. In lockdown she developed instrumental soundscapes to the poetry of percussionist, composer and poet, Eugene Skeef. Performers will include Eugene Skeef, Cleveland Watkiss, Christine Tobin, Phil Robson, Jenni Roditi, Kate Shortt, Claude Deppa plus more.
All proceeds will be donated to The London Music Fund assisting under-represented talented young musicians.
‘Have you ever felt the blood of the earth flow through your veins. The spark ignites the flame, the fire feels warm…
Will I ever find the words to explain just how I feel when the moon and sun lie side by side’
Estelle Kokot
The song ‘African Sky’
