Flomotion Live @ The Royal Opera House: 24th July

Following on from last year’s success, we’re delighted to be returning to London’s Royal Opera House on Friday 24th July for Flomotion Live.

This year, the international line-up features Japanese spiritual jazz composer, arranger and singer Maki Mannami and a headlining set from Sweden’s Little Dragon.

Little Dragon features radiant vocals from Yukimi Nagano, with her band of high school friends – Erik Bodin (drums), Fredrick Källgren (bass) and Håkan Wirenstrand (keyboards). Together, they create perfect, free thinking soul music. As Yukimi herself puts it, “Little Dragon is a city; blue traffic lights, fast-food signs, neon, love, loneliness, technology – a city reflected in the middle of a vast ocean.”

Maki Mannami makes a rare UK visit performing tracks from her second album, The World Of Sense.

Nick Luscombe will be your host and DJ on the night.

Tickets are available now at £16 (£14 students and ROH access scheme). Click here to get yours.

Flomotion Live @ The Royal Opera House is part of the Voices Across The World festival, which runs from 19th – 24th July 2009. Find out more here.
