Following June’s epic sold-out show and their Glastonbury takeover, Lyrix Organix return to the intimate confines of North London’s finest venue (for the last time in 2011) with another scintillating line-up of fresh talent, coming together for a poignant cause...
7.30pm to 11.30pm, £5 on the door
All profits from this special event will be donated to the Medecins sans Frontieres MSF or Doctors without Borders Somalia appeal.
Somalia's crippling drought has just been declared a famine, compounded by conflict and poverty.
The crisis is dire and on an unprecedented scale. MSF are treating over 10,000 severely malnourished children in nine programmes in South Central Somalia alone.
Lyrix Organix is renowned for cherry-picking UK’s very best performers - a space where artists spark, collaborations ignite and audiences tingle.
Join us on a conscious exploration through the lyrical roots of Hip Hop and Spoken Word.
Line-up:
BABY SOL
Having set the Lyrix Organix Glastonbury stage and SB:TV alight, we are delighted to welcome back this tour-de-force of sassy Soul. Blessed with a magical voice and dripping in style, Baby is destined for big things.
EL CRISIS & THUNDER
Enigmatic poet El Crisis glides across a landscape of global rhythms and bass, influenced as much by African roots music as Dancehall.
yoB
Supported by Rob De Bank and The Pogues, yoB's highly charged Folk tales weave captivating songwriting, with Billy Bragg's intensity and incisive honesty. One to watch.
MUSA OKWONGA
Football writer, enigmatic wordsmith and charismatic frontman (Benin City, The King’s Will), Musa is a gifted Spoken Word artist unlike any other. Witty, inspired and intelligent.
£5 at the door – All proceeds will be donated to MSF. For more information, please visit the Lyrix Organix website, or go to the Facebook event
