live performance:
Z*
In a live review Guardian Uk writer John L Walters wrote “Range, power and style a soul jazz diva to watch out for.” In short, she is like a female Hendrix vs Grace Jones with the musicality of Joan Armatrading meets Nina Simone. A born performer, to see Z* live is a deeply moving experience.

She conducts the energy onstage and offstage effortlessly, it can be as still as a slow burning candle oras explosive as a Molotov. Always spontaneous her live shows are never the same, she’s profoundly magical and very entertaining. With a soaring voice in a class of its own, her self-penned acoustic guitar anthems range from; the theatrical to wild fun-fuelled dance mash-ups to evocative evergreens,and are a testament to her understated musical genius. As a producer, she has a talent for creatingdeep hypnotic soundtracks that mix Soul Jazz Bossa Blues Roots n Rock into one unmistakable sound. She has performed and collaborated with a wide range of artists including Max Sedgeley, George Benson, Gabin, Keziah Jones, Nigel Kennedy, Richie Havens, Soweto Kinch, Angelique Kidjo and Mauro Pagani. Music from her electro-soul duo SLOWTRAINSOUL has been featured on HIT US sitcoms, Ugly Betty, CSI, Six Foot Under & Californication

Afro Funke' & The Los Angeles Film Festival Present
"Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone"

This lively and loving documentary charts the turbulent history of the pioneering all-black rock band Fishbone. Formed in 1979 in South Central Los Angeles, Fishbone landed a major label record deal before graduating high school. After this early success, however, the band struggled for acceptance in a racially stratified music industry, while their unabashedly hybrid style has kept them proudly out of fashion for over three decades. Through frank interviews with the band, including eccentric co-founders Angelo Moore and Norwood Fisher, filmmakers Chris Metzler and Lev Anderson reveal the creative alchemy, the clash of egos, and the enduring friendships behind Fishbone’s storied career.
