Info
British-Nigerian poet and vocalist Joshua Idehen brings his blend of spoken word, contemporary jazz and club electronics to The Globe in Cardiff on 4 November 2026. First heard with the trio Benin City, he’s since moved across projects and stages, writing in a tight, percussive cadence that sits between storytelling and flow. Live, his voice cuts through supple synth lines, house and broken beat pulses, and jazz-leaning arrangements, carrying scenes from everyday life, social reflection and more intimate fragments.
His path runs through the UK jazz orbit and beyond, with collaborations touching Sons of Kemet, The Comet Is Coming and Daedelus. Recent releases like Learn To Swim (with Ludvig Parment) and the 2024 EP Mum Does The Washing sketch the contours of this approach; on stage it turns into a dialogue between text and rhythm, band and machines. Special guests join for the occasion.
