Iyeoka
Fri, 01. Nov 2013, 8 PM | URBAN GROOVES
Three years ago, the pharmacist and part-time poet Iyeoka from Boston decided to start prescribing nothing but medicine for the soul. Her third album «Say Yes» puts this daughter of Nigerian immigrants on par with Tracy Chapman, Lauryn Hill, Shirley Bassey and Sade. In the meantime, Andres Andrekson from Lausanne, alias Stress, has advanced from being an adrenaline-oozing city rapper to a virtuosic linguist, a world-class verbal acrobat, who can also speak in softer tones. He does it with depth and a sure sense for powerful grooves.
