Join us at Bar Laika on Wednesday, July 9 from 6pm for the sixteenth edition of Playback with Lamin Fofana.
Lamin Fofana is an artist and musician currently located in New York City. His music contrasts the reality of our world with what’s beyond, and explores questions of movement, migration, alienation and belonging. Fofana’s overlapping interests in history and the present, and his practice of transmuting text into the affective medium of sound manifests in multisensory live performances and installations featuring original music compositions, field recordings, and archival material. His latest releases include Ballad Air & Fire, Shafts of Sunlight, and The Open Boat (an album trilogy). Recent exhibitions include Notes on Planetary Living (2024) at fluent, Santander, Spain and JMW Turner with Lamin Fofana: Dark Waters (2022) at Tate Liverpool, England. Fofana hosts a monthly radio show on NTS Radio. View more about Fofana's work here.
Playback is a series of listening events curated by Kamran Sadeghi where record labels, musicians, composers, and producers feature recordings from their catalog, and premiere album pre-releases, archives, and other rarities.
