Queen of bass Nik West, one of today’s most charismatic funk musicians who has collaborated with legends such as Prince, Santana, and Quincy Jones, is coming to Kino Šiška! She brings a generous dose of groove, onstage theatricality, and unflagging energy to Katedrala, spreading it from gig to gig.
FOR FANS OF: Prince, Bruno Mars, Thundercat …
Nik West boasts a voice that is both crystal clear and strikingly powerful, paired with a bassline that moves between hard-hitting funk rock and technical excellence. Her performance transforms the stage into a spectacle of the unexpected, from dizzying splits with a bass guitar in hand to grooved-up covers of AC/DC, if the mood strikes.
Her exceptional talent is attested to by the reactions of the greatest music legends. Prince himself highlighted her as an inspirational player, Bootsy Collins declared her the harbinger of a modern funk revival, and her list of collaborators reads like a star-studded directory: Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), Quincy Jones, John Mayer, Larry Graham, Santana, and many others. Her albums feature a broad spectrum of genre intertwining, from lavish funk arrangements with a full horn section to pop minimalism or uncompromising rock bangers in anthemic tracks.
West will get Ljubljana dancing with a first-rate musical experience that blurs the genre boundaries between funk, rock, and pop with the same ease as Prince, Lizzo, or Bruno Mars, leaving the audience in an ecstasy of primal melodies and nimble-fingered musicianship. Long live the queen!
Tickets on sale on Friday, September 18 at 11 am online and at Eventim outlets.
