Now that we've revealed the full line-up for Le Guess Who? 2023, including the curated programs by Heba Kadry, Nala Sinephro, Slauson Malone 1 and Stereolab, it's time to start your musical discovery again. Take a deep dive into our official festival playlist.
Start your journey with Bala Desejo, one of Brazil’s most coveted bands who, despite having just released their first record, already have a Latin Grammy under their belt. From there, we'll introduce you to a.o. Israeli singer, musician and producer Dudu Tassa in collaboration with award-winning composer and guitarist Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead, The Smile); emerging avant garde sound artist Damsel Elysium, who previously collaborated with a.o. FKA Twigs, Celeste and the London Contemporary Orchestra; acclaimed and pioneering psychedelic dub ensemble African Head Charge, founded by master percussionist Bonjo Iyabhinghi Noah together with legendary producer Adrian Sherwood; Zambian-Canadian rapper & producer and Polaris Music Prize-winner Backxwash, whose work is based in the horrorcore, hip-hop and industrial metal genres; Ndox Electrique, whose music is a ritual of possession which comes from Senegal’s N’döep ceremonies; and Niño de Elche, who has been challenging conservative and picturesque perceptions of flamenco for over two decades and has collaborated with fellow boundary-breaking musicians Rosalía and C. Tangana in the process.
