JAZZ DANCE — Patrick Forge (DJ, London) + Oudskul Omello (Live) + Biggie Small (Kasheme)
London jazz-dance legend Patrick Forge plays six hours at Kasheme, opened by Durban-born drummer and singer Oudskul Omello. Food on the terrace from 4pm.
An afternoon-into-night for people who move to real drums.
16:00 - Oudskul Omello (live)
Omello is a singer, drummer, producer and composer from Durban, South Africa, now based in Zurich and no stranger to Kasheme. His sound sits between neo-soul, Afro-folk and experimental jazz: Dilla-loose rhythms, warm melodies, and lyrics that move between Zulu and English. Before going solo he played with bands across South Africa and the US, and his 2024 album A Talk About Listening sums up what he's about: music that asks you to actually listen. A soulful warm-up as the sun goes down on the terrace.
19:00 - 00:00 - Patrick Forge (DJ, London)
