GAIKA
Friday
Hannah Elsisi presents Chromesthesia
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Prince, Wu-Tang Clan, Steve McQueen; the diversity of Gaika Tavares’ (or GAIKA) influences mirror his multifarious artistic persona. The South London artist and writer, who describes his work as "building worlds from the memories we have lost," is accompanied on stage by multi-hyphenate James Massiah. Fresh off the heels of Massiah’s highly anticipated EP ‘True Romance’, the artist, poet, and DJ's latest work marks another exciting step in his excursion through rap, dancehall, grime, acid, and dub—all laced with personal poetry.
