Nubya Garcia | "SOURCE ⧺WE MOVE"

Saxophonist and composer Nubya Garcia has announced a forthcoming remix album - SOURCE ⧺WE MOVE, out 22nd October - and shared the opening single, La Cumbia Me Está Llamandofeat. La Perla (Kaidi Tatham remix).

SOURCE ⧺WE MOVE finds Garcia reinventing her Mercury Prize-nominated album, SOURCE, through new collaborations with several artists and producers, including: Dengue Dengue Dengue, Georgia Anne Muldrow, DJ Harrison and Moses Boyd.  The reworked tracks retain the inspiring musicianship and blend of jazz and other influences found on the original, whilst also moving in a more beat-driven, electronic direction.  

Garcia’s critically acclaimed debut album, SOURCE, released in August 2020, is included in this year’s Mercury Music Prize shortlist.  Garcia will perform at the awards ceremony, broadcast live on the BBC on 9th September.

In other news, Garcia and her band - which features Joe Armon-Jones on keys, Daniel Casimir on double bass, and Sam Jones on drums - made their debut performance at the BBC Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall last night.  They were joined by special guest Sheila Maurice Grey on trumpet.

After a lengthy enforced hiatus, Garcia recently resumed playing live and has dates throughout the summer, followed by her own headline UK tour from 31st October to 8th November - more Europe and UK live dates are due to be added over the coming weeks.  In addition, Garcia continues her long-running monthly DJ residency on NTS Radio.
