- La Rumba bring Mim Suleiman live for a super intimate and exclusive performance you won’t see very often in Factory Floor’s 100-cap space. Mim Suleiman has been described as Mama Africa of the modern era, but also defies categorisation. A boundary crossing performer, she reaches deep into her East African heritage to blend traditional Taarab vibes with dub, jazz, soul and funk. Her versatile and charismatic presence have led to collaborations with some of the biggest names in Africa and the diaspora including Amadou & Mariam, Baaba Mall, Tony Allen, Fatoumata Diawara, Afel Acoum, Juldeh Camarah, Ayub Ogada, Geoffrey Oryema, Rokia Traoré, Taarab Safar Band, Dieabel Cissikho, Kadially Kouyate, Joel Sembujo, Dawda Jobarteh, Dorethee Munyaneza, Bassekou koyate, Mensah, Manifest, Thandiswa, DCMA (Sauti za Busara), and more! Worldwide, Mim has collaborated with an outrageous list including Damon Albarn, Paul Mcartney, Kano, Robert Plant, Maurice Fulton, Gorillaz, Africa Express, Pee Wee Ellis, Terry Walker, Justin Adams, WOMAD foundation, Afrikan Boy, Maxim Park, Gregg Koffi Brown and More! "Her Music echoes the rich influence of Swahili coastal traditions and beyond, mixing the styles with unusual instrument combinations delivering her heartfelt lyrics with her startling vocal range.” A gifted composer and songwriter in both English and Swahili, she sings in a variety of languages including Fula. Mingi, a song from her debut album Tungi released in 2010 is said to be the first African Song to be featured in Grand Theft Auto V. Produced by Maurice Fulton, since then they have released four more albums; 'Umbeya' (2012), 'Adera Dera' (2015) 'Kawaida' (2017), 'Si Bure' (2019) and the most recent 'POA' in July 2022. “Music for the world, led by the powerhouse that is Mim Suleiman and her lyrics about love and affection, freedom, oppression, unity and everyday life!” Suleiman’s music brings the knowledge and culture of her people to the forefront: whether through her traditional costumes or through interwoven proverbs and stories of older generations – as if time itself is shifting throughout her tunes. In between shows from Buckingham Palace to Tasmania; Mim hosts her own live Tungi Shows, delivering Musical and inspirational workshops for young and old worldwide. Whilst travelling across East Africa filming uSISTA, to encounter women who tell their stories. "Suleiman is outrageously talented, wild haired with an electrifying voice - think Miriam Makeba meets Aretha Franklin" (Dave Jarvis) "A fantastic fiery vocalist who never fails to indulge her audience, reaching deep into her East African traditions." Don’t miss this very special performance on Friday 26th June.
