Four Quarters - NGAIO
Throughout the EP, NGAIO combines West African percussion and Bristol’s trip-hop influences with jazz, dub and soulful lyricism to create a sound that is truly innovative. A deeply personal and introspective journey, it reflects NGAIO’s exploration of identity, cultural heritage, and the challenges of expressing oneself authentically in a world often resistant to alternative perspectives.
