Namvula

Namvula’s songs are inspired by life – by its beauty and ugliness, its tenderness and cruelty, and the power of the stories that it holds, both simple and complex.

Evocative, lyrical and with a refreshing honesty, Namvula draws heavily on her Zambian heritage as well as referencing her Scottish roots and life in the diaspora, to produce an intoxicating and unique blend of uplifting global sounds.

One of the few Zambian artists performing in Europe, Namvula has shared the stage with artists including legendary South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela and sitar player Anoushka Shankar, before embarking on her blossoming solo project.

Dividing her time between Zambia and London, she has honed her musical profile with poise and and intelligence, culminating in the recent release of her well-received debut album. A name to watch!
