LABDI. Feat. Sky Dladla

Labdi is a trailblazing Kenyan musician, cultural operator and brand innovator dedicated to elevating contemporary African identity. Operating at the intersection of culture, business, and community, she builds high-impact platforms that challenge traditional boundaries. As one of East Africa's pioneering Orutu players, her sound fuses Ohangla, Taarab, and Benga with experimental folk and soul textures—ancient yet urgently present. She is joined by Cape Town's own Sibahle Sky Dladla, the Gugulethu-born marimba master and indigenous instrument innovator whose genre-defying artistry bridges ancestral tradition and modern expression. Don't miss this rare Cape Town appearance. A speaker, thought leader, and composer, Labdi champions sustainable cultural ecosystems and uncompromising creative narratives. Presented by Akum Agency with support of the Goethe-Institut.
