Motswana musician (Underground System, FELA! Band) and fashion designer Lollise charts new afro-futurist directions by creating hybrid songs that represent a patchwork of her childhood in Africa and her new home in NYC: Kalanga folk, Congolese soukous, electronic bubblegum, Zimbabwean sunguru blend into afrobeat, art-pop, and new wave, new world expressions. She is kinetic on stage, performing in a near-telepathic duo arrangement with drummer/DJ/journalist Morgan Greenstreet. “I hit the water” is her latest full-length release, just out last week on Switch Hit Records — a gorgeous, intimate tapestry of afro-diasporic sounds.
