Malika Collective
Describing their music as “a sonic tapestry, woven through energetic groove & threads of intricately crafted melody” Malika Collective is a dynamic London-based ensemble inspired by genres from blues to rock, Afrobeat, soul, electronic and dance music. The core of the band, George Risk-guitar, Nim Sadot-bass, Henry Lawry-keys, Salim Akki-drums and Greg Sinclair-tenor sax/flute have blended the timeless elements of jazz improvisation with the electric sounds of synths & effects for a distinctive & hip mashup of the old and new, as heard on their various single releases, including “Risky Bizz”, “Dwell” & “Insight”. With shows at venues such as Hootananny Brixton, The Royal Albert Deptford, the Crypt in Camberwell as well as Pizza Express, their music adeptly captures the feel and energy of the current London scene and we’re excited to feature them at the 606 for the first time!
