Annahstasia

International Summer Festival 2024

In the club, one of the most overwhelming folk and soul voices of the moment will continue (and probably continue to write) music history.

There are voices with such intense expression and timbre that they reach far beyond themselves and seamlessly tie in with the great voices of music history. The US neo-soul and folk singer Annahstasia Enuke belongs in this category. On two EPs to date, she has released songs that deal with her experience as a black woman ("Millionaire"), oppression ("Midas") or a fateful love ("While You Were Sleeping") - and whose intensity, vulnerability and vocal dynamics inevitably make you think of Nina Simone, Roberta Fleck or Tracy Chapman. They also point to the great future of an artist who, as the daughter of two fashion designers with Nigerian and German-Polish roots, grew up in the USA, made a global career as a model on the side, and now, at the age of 28, at the beginning of her music career, will probably play for the last time in a smaller club setting at the Kampnagel Summer Festival.
