SOPHIA THAK­UR

LIVE AT THE JAZZ CAFE

THURSDAY 7TH NOVEMBER

CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS 

Award-win­ning storyteller and musi­cian Sophia Thak­ur, accom­pan­ied by her 8 piece band bring the spir­it of poetry, afrobeats and soul to the Jazz Café to cel­eb­rate the glob­al release of her debut col­lec­tion and latest single KUMASI.

Hav­ing toured the world work­ing with musi­cians such as Jac­ob Banks and Sura Sosso, Sophia is known to com­bine spoken word poetry with music in a truly unique and cap­tiv­at­ing way, wow­ing unlikely audi­ences ran­ging from Gla­ston­bury to the TEDx stage. Her gentle wis­dom on top­ics such as love, art, race and polit­ics has led her to be labelled the voice of a gen­er­a­tion by Viac­om and BET International.

This year she has toured Ghana, worked closely with the Lon­don Sym­phony Orches­tra and released a col­lec­tion of poems and stor­ies that she will be bring­ing to life on stage with some very spe­cial guests.

Her glob­al tour will com­mence in Janu­ary, tak­ing her across the USA and Aus­tralia, push­ing what MTV are call­ing ‘the new wave of spoken word poetry’.

Sophia’s book ‘Some­body Give This Heart A Pen’ will be avail­able to buy and and sign.
