Celebrating the Jazz Clubs
Tomorrow’s Warriors presents KIKIMIKI as part of the EFG London jazz Festival 2024.
KIKIMIKI is a new band from flautist and vocalist Keira Chakraborty, performing music that is rooted in jazz, mixed with indie and soul. Most of the band met at Tomorrow’s Warriors.
Keira has performed in locations such as London's Jazz Cafe, the Royal Albert Hall, Dizzie’s Jazz club in New York and at festivals including We Out Here and Love Supreme.
Her influences include Elena Pinderhughes, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Joy Crookes, and Ezra Collective. You should expect to hear mostly originals with a line-up of flute, vocals, alto saxophone, piano, electric bass, and drums.
Tomorrow’s Warriors’ talent development programme has helped nurture an astounding list of award-winning alumni including Nubya Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings, Ezra Collective, Moses Boyd, Binker Golding and a whole host more. At the heart of this incredible musical movement is the ethos of ‘each one, teach one’, with each generation sharing their time and supporting the musicians that follow in their footsteps. The creative results are nothing short of inspiring and intoxicating, as witnessed in the new Tomorrow’s Warriors album, I Am Warrior.
For over 30 years, Tomorrow’s Warriors has played a vital role within its community and the wider music industry and?has been?credited?with?literally changing?the face of?UK?jazz.
