Lollise Creates Danceable Afrofuturist Pop, In-Studio

Soundcheck | Sep 30, 2024

Lollise is a musician, fashion designer, and visual artist from Botswana in southern Africa, now based here in New York. After many years of recording and touring with Underground System and the FELA! band, Lollise steps forward with her own bold Afro-futurist pop, rich with layers of kinetic, danceable percussion and gentle waves of ambient noise. Drawing on Setswana folk song, the sounds of nature, and infectious dance beats, she plays some of the hybrid songs from her debut LP, I Hit The Water, in-studio.

Set list: 1. Semang Mang 2. eDube 3. Mme Mma Ndi
