Ezra Collective

Ezra Collective and PA Salieu perform in Glasgow, bringing together contemporary British jazz and UK drill at the O2 Academy Glasgow.

Ezra Collective are a British jazz quintet led by drummer Femi Koleoso, blending afrobeat, calypso, reggae, hip-hop, soul and jazz. Their first album, You Can't Steal My Joy, was released in 2019. The group combines complex rhythmic foundations with horn-led melodies, drawing on various diasporic music traditions alongside traditional and modern jazz influences.

PA Salieu is a British rapper with Gambian origins, working in UK drill, Afroswing and British hip hop. Active since 2018, the act released its debut album, Send Them to Coventry, in 2020. The songs combine direct lyrical delivery with minimalist, bass-heavy production styles rooted in contemporary British rap.
