Sukhmani Malik is a trained Hindustani classical vocalist while Hari Singh is a producer, vocalist and an audio engineer.

Their original musical act has seen them globetrotting with their music, spreading their earthy sounds. They have been featured on UK’s BBC Radio 1, Coke Studio @ MTV Season 2 (India), Star World’s The Dewarists (Season 2), Fox Traveller’s Sound Trek, Balcony TV Delhi, and Tehelka Music Project. They have also collaborated with several artists, converging different musical traditions with Noori (Pakistan), Arshad Khan (Indian classical Israj player), Thu Le (Western classical guitarist, Vietnam), Trilok Gurtu (Percussionist), Fakhruddin Gaffari (Percussionist, Iran) and Earthstage (Chillout jazz band, Goa) are some of their recent collaborations.

Their motto is to leave behind cultural, religious, caste and creed divides, and transform oneself with a new discipline called music.
Happy, soulful music.

12-piece powerhouse from Manchester, UK. 

Agbeko have been erupting dancefloors across Europe since first taking the stage in 2016. Inspired by the lineage of Afrobeat from Fela Kuti through to Antibalas via modern-day psychedelia of The Heliocentrics and The Shaolin Afronauts, Agbeko seek to write their own chapter with their unique combination of Ethio-jazz and British Protest Song-meets-avant-rock. Channelled through an onslaught of horns, driven grooves, moving lyrics and cathartic soloing, Agbeko's songs call out corruption and embolden the collective pull towards societal change and healing in our times. Penned by Jamie Stockbridge and borne by a virtuosic collective featuring dual front-women Amber Kuti & Mali Hayes, their music soundtracks a congregation revelling upon a world on the brink. Agbeko opened WOMEX 24 as musical ambassadors of hometown Manchester at The Bridgewater Hall.

Vieka Plays (:vee-e-ka p-l-aa-ys). Born, will die. A female singer-songwriter-electronic-fiddler-producer-engineer currently residing in the fair lands of Manchesterville, UK. Inspired and nourished by music and sound.

 Vieka plays her music full frontal, sometimes delicate, sometimes brash but always dedicated to the senses. Alikened to Björk, Portishead with a dash of Cocorosie, Vieka moves through you in a whirl of challenging stories and sounds created by all manors of electronic geekery that can be harnessed, beated and whipped into shape. 

...'Combining sonic brutality, unfettered on-stage physicality, never-quite-reassuring periods of calm and moments of breath-taking spectral beauty'...'Ostensibly an avant-garde musician in the Portishead/Björk mould mould, Vieka’s beguiling live performances set her apart from other experimentalists.'
 … 'Their live concerts can veer from dubstep mood-pieces to eerie swing narratives and sexual psycho-dramas all with an underlying Burial-style-soundtrack-David Lynch intensity'... 

With a lustful desire for the wild world, Vieka weaves through all manner of sounds; blending, warping and creating impassioned soundscapes with subtle sound recordings from nature, life and the wide-wide world. Obtuse creations of synthesised bass, glitch noise and samples come from deep within the digital spectrum while the vocals cut through unabashed.

'With a tongue stuffed thoroughly in her cheek she blissfully hovers her sound in the darker sides of life (or hoovers her music up from the filthy corner of the proverbial room).'
