On her second day of residence at DE SINGEL, Camae will bring an extended line-up of collaborators with her, all great musicians and improvisers in their own right: Aquiles Navarro on trumpet, Farida Amadou on bass, Dudù Kouate on percussion, multiinstrumentalist Simon Sieger (flutes, percussion, voice … ) and soprano Alya Al-Sultani. 

Camae Ayewa, best known by her pseudonym Moor Mother, is a versatile, unstoppable artist, poet and musician. Her multiple collaborations are part of her personality: whether with her free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements, as Moor Mother, in collaborations with artists such as the US-American (sound) artist, musician and educator Lonnie Holley, or as part of the interdisciplinary art collective Black Quantum Futurism (Camae Ayewa & Rasheedah Phillips), exploring the intersections of futurism, creative media, DIY-aesthetics and activism in marginalized communities through an alternative lens, embedded in writing, performance, music, film, visual art and research practices.

Camae's unmissable voice and stage-presence, spreading her message through the way of spoken word, rap and poetry, is surrounded by musical improvisation and electronic music. Her performances are meaningful and reflect with so much urgency on current affairs, societal pressure, political injustice - her words are raw and act as a direct transmitter, a voice that is so needed in times of generational upheaval.
