ESKA ESKA is one of those “best-kept secrets” on the UK jazz scene, but she’s quickly becoming the talk of the town and the audience’s favourite. Possessing a truly unique and one of the most memorable voices in the UK right now, ESKA weaves together diverse elements -

hints of folk, soul, psychedelica and electronica in her jazz-immersed music. She’s gained her reputation as a writer and performer through collaborations with such legends as Cinematic Orchestra, Matthew Herbert, Zero 7, Bobby McFerrin, Grace Jones and more. She released her first EP Gatekeeper in November last year and created a great buzz with it. This is why ESKA’s CD, out in April next year, is surely one to look forward to. She’s recently performed at various festivals, including the Meltdown Festival at the London’s Southbank Centre in June and Latitude in July. ESKA continues with dates in August at the Canary Wharf Jazz Festival in London and Shambala Festival in Northamptonshire, www.shambalafestival.org. Make sure you don’t miss her electrifying and truly moving performances, they are one of a kind.
