The first Monday of the month is fast becoming the day to get your live music fix, thanks to ILuvLive and their monthly expeditions into the world of rising UK urban talent, in the broadest sense. MCs, singer-songwriters, bands, collectives and more are all represented at the monthly Favela Chic sessions.
March 9th sees ILuvLive return to Cargo for a one off special. These events offer the opportunity to put on more established acts and thus our headliner needs little introduction. Upping his speed and taking over the East London stage will be Sway, delivering the witticisms and lyrical role-play that has seen him garner a loyal army of fans. Currently riding high on the back of the release of his sophomore album ‘The Signature', the North Londoner has seen recent chart success with singles featuring the likes of Lemar and latest offering ‘Silver & Gold', a collaboration with US superstar Akon.
On support duty, and repping for south of the river, will be Brixton's soul queen, none other than musical thoroughbred Mpho Skeef. The daughter of one of South Africa's biggest artists, Mpho has honed her own pedigree working with a range of artists including singing backing vocals for Natasha Bedingfield & Ms Dynamite, vocal coaching Adele and collaborating and touring with the likes of Sam Sparro, IG Culture, Mongrel and Coldcut. These varying influences have led her to create ‘Pop Art', her debut solo album of "tropical pop" which she will be showcasing on the night.
LIVE: SWAY + MPHO + MORE TBC
