Lafawndah (FR)
Lafawndah’s journey to her current incarnation as a devotional pop polymath has wound as unpredictably as her compositional style. Her traversing of musical and artistic milieus has been defined by a freedom of tone, surrealist sense of space, and assured manipulation of formal and psychological tension.
With her precision-tuned debut album Ancestor Boy, she was catapulted into the vibrant centre of contemporary arts in 2019, followed by the release – via the Paris-based cult label Latency – The Fifth Season, which “is imbued with the tension and power of a live instrumental performance, at once intriguing and nerve-wracking” (Pitchfork).
She has collaborated with Laure Prouvost (French Pavilion, Venice Biennale) or Jacolby Satterwhite, scoring runways for Kenzo, Chanel and Fendi. At the same time, she left powerful impressions at her concerts at the Haus der Kunst, Barbican Center and Sónar Festival. Lafawndah’s latest performance is a trio with the drummer Sebastian Forrester and the guitar player Trustfall, which puts Lafawndah’s cinematic storytelling and instrumental explorations at the forefront and promises to be an energetic live experience.
