Nubya Garcia

+ Oreglo

The London-born saxophonist, composer and bandleader melds jazz, classical, dub and R&B into sweeping, adventurous music to stir the senses.

Garcia grew up studying under the noted pianist Nikki Yeoh at Camden Music. Her eclectic music style comes from a place of exploration and self-study, of wanting to experiment across all disciplines.

Garcia’s most recent album, Odyssey, is a majestic feat blending orchestral arrangements with R&B, jazz, broken beat and dub, resulting in a grand,
nuanced record that feels airy and celestial without sacrificing the groove.

Her debut album, Source, was released to huge critical acclaim, including an NPR Tiny Desk (home) concert, a Pitchfork ‘Best New Music’ review and a Rolling Stone ‘Album of the Month’ mention, as well as being nominated for the Mercury Prize, a prestigious award given to the best albums from the UK or Ireland.

Garcia has toured the US in support of Khruangbin, performing in sold-out venues including Radio City Music Hall in New York, the Ryman in Nashville and the Met in Philadelphia. She then headlined her own tour in the UK and US, performing at various festivals including Glastonbury, Love Supreme, Pickathon and Newport Jazz.

Oreglo is a four-piece London-based collective. Their musical journeys began from organisations Tomorrows Warriors and Kinetika Bloco where the group met. Formed through a shared interest in the fusion of genres such as jazz, rock and reggae, their influences are diverse and reflect the backgrounds of each member.
