Nubya Garcia 5 stars
Barbican London
Nubya Garcia’s debut EP, Nubya’s 5ive, released in 2017, combined the tough breakbeats of London’s urban music scene with the dynamic sensibility of her jazz forebears, and established her place as one of her generation’s leading jazz musicians.
Three years on, and her much-anticipated debut album pushes this same combination into yet more accomplished and innovative territory. It is an album, she told the New York Times recently, focused on the themes of “personal power, collective power, collectivism,” and this is her first concert since its release.
