AUTHENTIC VOICES AFRICA (UG) + NANNA PEGGY (UK) + Spooky-J b2b Turbo 2000
Sundried Understanding #5 – Kampala via Leeds
This edition of Sundried Understandings brings together two cities that have shaped our fellow
curator’s life in a homecoming reunion fuelled by a showcase of fellow friendship talent.
Lineup:
AUTHENTIC VOICES AFRICA
Authentic Voices Africa (AVA) is a cultural and artistic collective founded in 2020 by Benzima
Onzima in collaboration with Dominic Claire, revealing the deep spiritual essence of traditions
and heritage along the River Nile in Uganda. They fuse ancestral sound, ritual movement,
indigenous chants, and futuristic electronics into multi-sensory performances. Following their
debut performance at Nyege Nyege Festival last year and various shows in Kampala, they will
be in Europe for a run of shows, and we are happy to host them at OCCII.
NANNA PEGGY
Nanna Peggy is the mysterious alias of producer and songwriter Lewis Murray. His band Fishing For Crabs became something of a cult favourite amongst fellow musicians, although the music was
never officially released except for one song on Soundcloud 12 years ago. Since then, Lewis‘s
music has been kept on the down low, only to be heard while visiting his Doncaster-based
studio and during rare live appearances. His unique falsetto voice, accompanied by chopped
samples and recordings on his MPC, makes for a dreamy experience. This will be his first time
performing outside the UK, so we are super excited to have him in Amsterdam — don’t miss
out!
Spooky-J b2b DJ Turbo 2000
Sundried Understandings administrator Spooky-J and poster designer visual mastermind DJ
Turbo 2000 will bless the intermissions with their deep dug cuts and selections for the evening.
