Omar
Soul Mama Stratford, E20 1DB , [Venue Details]Prepare to be swept away by the captivating performance of the internationally renowned artist, Omar!
Omar’s enviable career – which has seen him sell millions of records - first started taking shape more than 20 years ago, when his debut single for indie label Kongo Dance made him a hot name on London’s underground. For Pleasure, on which he worked with legendary Motown producers Leon Ware and Lamont Dozier, notching up critical acclaim and introducing him to several more of his musical heroes and heroines.
In 2000, now the leading icon of the UK’s resurgent soul movement, Omar released his fifth LP, on French imprint Naïve Records; Best By Far was a self-produced set on which his interest in cinematic soundtracks and jazz rose to the surface. This time, Erykah Badu and MOBO winner Kele Le Roc came good on their promises to work with him. Robert Luis summarises: “Omar is just a hugely influential and talented artist, and importantly he has always been respected by fellow musicians, which is proved by all the people queuing up to collaborate with him.”
Omar was appointed as a MBE in the Queen’s 2012 Birthday Honours List.
Accompanied by a full live band, this concert promises to be an electrifying experience that will leave you wanting more.
