European Premiere: Raja Kumari
Support: Zion Flex
Indian-American rapper, singer, songwriter, and dancer Raja Kumari is a force of nature. She’s a fearless, charismatic personality and natural-born storyteller whose mission is to create art that blends her Indian roots with her American upbringing. Her music is a sonic bridge between East and West that fuses the rhythms she absorbed as a trained classical Indian dancer with her love for hip-hop.
Through singles Mute, City Slums (featuring Mumbai rapper Divine), Believe In You, and her latest I Did It, as well as her debut EP, The Come Up (the cover features an image of Kumari with her head draped in both a gold tikka and an American flag), Kumari announces that this is the new face of America. “I want my fans to feel one hundred percent seen and to have a safe space to be themselves,” she says. “Because those were the only desires I had as a child.”
Zion Flex is a singer-songwriter from Bristol. Heavily influenced by hip hop, trip hop and bass music. She returns with new music from her latest release Queen of Herz created in Austria.
