Metropolink Festival Opening / Uche Yara, Kabeaushé , Caleb Kunle

In the organizer's words:

Uche Yara

We've been wanting to bring Uche to us for 3 years and finally it worked out!!!

The Austrian musician is serious about not being pigeonholed. Her inspiring, cross-genre soundscape knows no boundaries and presents Uche's blunt, experimental flair in top form. With influences ranging from Tierra Whack, James Blake and Tyler, the Creator to Bilderbuch and Alex The Flipper, as well as her drive to carve out her own niche, she has developed a remarkably fresh yet distinctive sound over the last few years. We can promise you in all conscience an insane show where nobody knows where the journey will take you.

Kabeaushé

From Nairobi straight into your synapses: Kabeaushé is an extraterrestrial pop phenomenon on a mission. Between pop, glam, gospel, glitch and boundless ecstasy, Kabeaushé's stage alter ego "The Shé" unfolds a spectacle that blows up everything you thought a concert was. Beats to take off to, vocals to kneel down to and a performance that pulsates between drag ritual, club dream and vision of the future. Dance along or go under - Kabeaushé has come to turn heads and conquer hearts.

Caleb Kunle

Caleb Kunle makes music that makes you float and feel deeply rooted at the same time. With influences from soul, afrobeat, folk and psych-pop, he brings a sound to the stage that is just as diverse as his story - born in Nigeria, raised in Ireland, at home in London. His voice: velvety soft. His vibes: sunny, honest, captivating. Sometimes tender, sometimes groovy - but always full of feeling. Music for the heart, for the head and for the dance floor.
