Ezra Collective live in Amsterdam

Experience Ezra Collective live on February 20th

Ezra Collective is a British quintet renowned for their dynamic blend of jazz, Afrobeat, and hip-hop influences. Formed in 2015, the group—featuring Femi Koleoso on drums, TJ Koleoso on bass, Joe Armon-Jones on keys, James Darcey on guitar, and Nubya Garcia (occasionally)—has gained international acclaim for their energetic live performances and innovative compositions. Their music often incorporates improvisation and draws heavily from the London music scene’s diverse cultural landscape. They released their debut album, *You Can’t Steal My Joy*, in 2023 to widespread critical praise and won the Mercury Prize that same year.
