A whirlwind of musical alchemy
The definitive take on witchcraft in 2026 comes courtesy of YATTA. They throw storytelling, experimental electronic compositions, and astonishing vocals into one great cauldron, stirring in an electrifying stage presence, a splash of politically engaged poetry, and unexpected live loops. The Sierra Leonean-American artist offers an unapologetic glimpse into the workshop of musical alchemy. Their commanding voice and impossibly long, spinning hair complete the spell. On-the-spot improvisation of extraordinary musicality goes hand in hand with pounding texts on being Black, trans, and African in the diaspora.
Somewhere between the sounds of psychosis and prayer lies the secret of this multidisciplinary artist, who has previously shared the stage with the likes of Cardi B. YATTA is a born rebel, a body brimming with emotion and a keen instinct for exposing oppressive systems while searching for a place to call home. Let yourself, body and mind, be enchanted by this expressive force of nature.
