JAZZ RE:FRESHED HEAD TO SOUTH AFRICA WITH CAMILLA GEORGE AND BLUE LAB BEATS

The Dig x Jazz re:freshed present : The AfroDiaspora connection with Blue lab beats and Camilla George

'The Afrodiaspora Connection' is a collaborative music exchange project curated by Joburg-based alternative music development agency The Dig and UK based jazz and alternative music organisation Jazz re:freshed, The project aims to establish a cross-cultural music community and exchange between South Africa and the UK and across the African diaspora. 

We are happy to announce Grammy and MOBO award-winning duo Blue Lab Beats as one of the UK bands headlining the Afrodiaspora Connection.

Blue Lab Beats are one of the fastest-rising production duos in the world, expertly and fluidly fusing jazz, hip-hop, Afrobeat, soul and electronica, whilst representing a hungry and endlessly talented generation inspired by the forebearers of jazz and the pioneers of hip-hop’s golden age, where musicality was a primary principle. 

Completing this unprecedented lineup is visionary saxophonist, composer, bandleader and innovator, Camilla George. Strong cultural roots and a love of fusing African and Western Music has informed her own unique style, a key reason why she is a firm fixture on the new London Jazz scene and taking the European music scene by storm. A recipient of the Urban Music Award for 'Best Jazz Act' in 2023. George's music is a hypnotising blend of Afrofuturism, hip hop and jazz, with a politically minded subtext that has a powerful connection to her Nigerian identity, lineage and heritage, reflecting African history, culture and slavery.
