The War in a Rack CD Launch with Soweto Kinch

When: 29th November 2009
Where: Rich Mix
Clash: Poetry n Motion



Details as follows:

The War in a Rack is a completely different approach to reaching target audiences, and it also signifies the launch of Soweto Kinch Productions as an independent recording and production company.

He will be releasing a 6 track E.P (The War in a Rack) featuring both national and international artists, such as, C4sey (Pentalk, Birmingham), Verbal Kent (Chicago, US) and Tumi (Tumi and the Volume, Johannesburg, RSA)

The EP will feature new and original material. This will be the first time since the 'A Life in the Day of B19', and the frustrated release of 'Basement Fables' that Soweto Kinch will present new work. It therefore marks his emergence as an independent artist and signifies his material breaking free both from his record label and an industry fascination with categorising creativity.

Admission is free and he will be signing the limited edition physical CDs (at £6) at the event. This completely bespoke date features his core quartet (Femi Temowo - guitar, Karl Rasheed Abel - bass and Graham Godfrey - drums).

Soweto regularly incorporates jpegs, sent via bluetooth into an improvised freestyle in shows. This performance however will extend that principle allowing his audience to send in relevant information and pictures weeks in advance, shaping the format of the show.
