A Dazzling Reimagining of Jazz Legacy Through Sound, Soul, and Contemporary Black Performance
On Sunday, May 10, 2026, London audiences will witness an extraordinary evening of music, memory, and artistic transcendence as KWITEE headlines Night and Day: The Louis Armstrong Experience at Soul Mama.
Conceived as a living conversation with the timeless genius of Louis Armstrong, Night and Day places KWITEE at the forefront of a bold contemporary interpretation of jazz tradition. Far beyond tribute, the performance seeks to resurrect the emotional architecture of Armstrong’s artistry — the tenderness, swing, rebellion, wit, and spiritual depth that transformed jazz into a global language of survival and joy.
KWITEE’s performance promises an immersive sonic experience where classic jazz sensibilities meet modern Black expression. Through evocative vocals, textured instrumentation, and theatrical atmosphere, the evening becomes a meditation on inheritance: how music travels across time, reshaping itself through new bodies, new cities, and new imaginations.
Hosted at the culturally vibrant Soul Mama in Angel Central, the event is designed for lovers of jazz, soul, spoken word, and boundary-crossing live performance. Known for curating unforgettable musical encounters, Soul Mama provides the ideal setting for a night where intimacy and artistic excellence converge.
The evening will also feature celebrated Nigerian poet, performer, and cultural producer Taiwo Michael Oloyede, popularly known as Philo Baba, whose deeply lyrical and emotionally resonant performance style has earned recognition across literary and performance spaces internationally. His appearance adds a profound poetic and philosophical dimension to the production.
Joining the lineup is the remarkable MAKΑ, whose performance is expected to bring another layer of musical vitality and expressive richness to the evening. Together, the artists form a dynamic constellation of sound, language, rhythm, and improvisation — embodying the spirit of collaboration at the heart of jazz itself.
Night and Day promises to be more than a concert. It is an atmosphere. A remembrance. A celebration of Black artistry across generations. A place where trumpet ghosts, poetry, improvisation, and contemporary soul gather beneath one roof.
