AJO – GËRSHETAT – EFG London Jazz Festival 2026
Grand Junction, St. Mary Magdalene Nave, W2 5TF , [Venue Details]Kosovo-born, London-based singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist AJO returns to the EFG London Jazz Festival with the launch of her long-awaited debut album, Gërshetat (“Braids”).
Following sold-out performances at the Royal Albert Hall, Rich Mix and the EFG London Jazz Festival, AJO has established herself as one of the leading contemporary voices bringing Albanian musical heritage to international audiences.

The album brings together beloved traditional songs alongside AJO’s original compositions, creating a dialogue between ancestral memory and modern artistic expression.
