Naturally 7 take classic close-harmony style to stratospheric new heights, mixing beat boxing, basslines and uncanny instrumental imitation with rap and hook-laden soul, pop and jazz. This is a vocal group in a league of its own, and their genuinely fresh use of the voice and astonishingly versatile talent have garnered diverse fans including Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Jay Leno and Brian Eno. 

'This is one of the must-see performances of all time.' Brian Eno 

'Dazzling' The Guardian 

'Jaw-droppingly impressive' The Independent

Muntu Valdo opens the show. His music is rooted in the blues, mixing African traditions with striking modernity and technical mastery. He's played with some of the great names of African music including Ali Farka Touré, Manu Dibango and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and returns tonight with a mesmerising solo set that juxtaposes his raw, passionate voice and intensely emotive melodies with an ingenious use of loops, samples and effects.

“Using a box of tricks to double-track his guitar and voice live, he added layers of sound to create full-textured, soft songs about peace, love and Cameroonian witchcraft” Financial Times
