SUMMARY:Poppy Ajudha / YES
DESCRIPTION:South London singer-songwriter Poppy Ajudha lures you in with her soothing R&B vocals\, and next thing you know\, you’re a minute-and-a-half deep into a song about colourism\, gender politics or the shadow of British colonialism. Her forward-thinking politically inclined projects are a nod to her British-St. Lucian background and the environment she grew up in. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp

SUMMARY:Kofi Stone / New Century
DESCRIPTION:Playground rap battles\, handmade mixtape cover art and a Birmingham upbringing are just a few of the elements that make Kofi Stone a captivating artist. His pairs a laidback delivery with substantial lyrical content\, touching on topics from family structures to the repetitive state of rap culture. Whatever he turns his tongue to\, his work with producers such as Jake Milliner and fellow Brummie Joe Corfield has shaped a sound that merges the best of ’90s hip-hop with golden cuts from mid-century jazz. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp

SUMMARY:Rogér Fakhr & Charif Megarbane (Habibi Funk) / Band On The Wall
DESCRIPTION:Listen to the Groovement podcast \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoth hailing from Beirut\, Charif Megarbane and Rogér Fakhr represent two generations of artists pushing Lebanese music culture forwards\, with Rogér starting his career in the late 70’s\, and Charif taking the helm in more recent years. \n\n\n\nRogér has developed an incredibly strong cult following\, with his lost tapes recorded in 1970s Beirut (and later in Paris during the Lebanese civil war) finally being released to the public by Habibi Funk in 2021 on the LP ‘Fine Anyway’\, followed with a second album release ‘East of Any Place’ in 2023. \n\n\n\nNobody could have expected just how strongly this would connect with the modern audience – on Spotify alone ‘Fine Anyway’ has so far racked up 25million streams and while Rogér currently has 250k monthly listeners. Rogér is now in the studio recording new material. \n\n\n\nCharif is a polymath of the truest sorts – producer\, composer\, multi-instrumentalist who is prolific with his output (80 albums in 10 years!). His full length LP ‘Marzipan’ was released on Habibi Funk 2023 to critical acclaim\, including a feature as Bandcamp’s Album of the Day\, as well as praise from Time and The Skinny. Under his main alternative moniker Cosmic Analog Ensemble\, Charif also released “Les Grandes Vacances” in January 2024 to critical accolades\, including Bandcamp Album of the Day. Charif is set to release an eagerly-awaited new album in Spring 2025 via Habibi Funk. \n\n\n\nWhile Charif has toured live since the Marzipan release\, with sold out shows at Jazz Cafe in London\, Hosoi in Stockholm and Le Bellevilloise in Paris\, Rogér had not performed in public for decades – that is before he took to the stage of a sold out EartH in London in late 2024 – a truly special and emotional night\, which saw Charif perform his own set as well as performing as the backing band for Rogér too. \n\n\n\nTo Rogér’s humble surprise\, he witnessed full audience renditions of his songs – written discreetly over four decades ago – now connecting with a modern crowd of all ages and backgrounds. \n\n\n\nTogether\, Charif and Rogér now look forward to bringing this truly unique show to cities around Europe for the very first time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp
