A Night of Sade with Yemi Bolatiwa

A tribute evening of Sade's songs, performed by the London-born, Manchester-based soul singer Yemi Bolatiwa with a band, at Soul Mama Angel in London.

This is a tribute to Sade's music, not a performance by Sade, who is not taking part and has no association with the event. Yemi Bolatiwa, a London-born soul singer based in Manchester, builds the evening around Sade's most cherished hits, including songs from deeper in the catalogue and tracks featured in films. Titles named for the night include "Sweetest Taboo", "Smooth Operator", "By Your Side" and "Paradise".

Bolatiwa is a multi-faceted vocal artist who has worked on releases with electronic music labels across the UK and EU, most recently with Piem, Danny Howard and Lauren Lo Sung. A recent play on BBC Radio 1 followed performances on BBC Introducing Manchester, BBC Radio Manchester and BBC 1Xtra, and the singer is a frequent presence on the Manchester live scene. Bolatiwa's own tracks combine R&B melodies and soulful vocals with hip-hop, drum and bass and garage-inspired grooves, and have been performed in Manchester, across the north, in Birmingham and in London.

The evening is presented as a night of 1980s nostalgia, with the songs performed by a band of Manchester musicians. It takes place at Soul Mama Angel, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows.
