The Womack Sisters

A London concert by The Womack Sisters, the trio of Kucha, Zeimani and BG Womack, whose music combines R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae with a strong family musical tradition.

Kucha, Zeimani and BG Womack began singing as children and grew up touring with their parents, Zekkariyas and Zeriiya, who previously performed as Womack & Womack. Alongside their four siblings, the sisters sang behind their parents in studios and on stages in many countries, so music and family remained constant wherever they lived.

They are the granddaughters of Sam Cooke and the nieces of Bobby Womack. Their self-titled debut album, released on Daptone Records, draws on that soul heritage while looking back to the kind of pop that had substance and purpose. Each sister has her own moments in the spotlight, and the record shows how their voices differ.

The concert takes place at Islington Assembly Hall, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows. The evening will appeal to listeners who follow soul, funk and gospel-rooted music, and to anyone interested in the lineage behind the group.
