After a decade playing resistance anthems and South American folk acoustically on the frontlines of environmental, decolonial and queer social movements, Alex Etchart traverses binaries and borders to debut their new transcendental sound.

Alex brings the rich, melancholy sounds of South American folklore into wild electronica, and gives new life to British Isles and Irish folk songs through rich harmony and dubstep wobbles.

LGBTQ+ realities and diasporic memories are woven through multilingual melodies and utterly danceable basslines, welcoming us to be everything we are without holding anything back.

Alex Etchart will be joined by…

+ Expresión Inka
Opening the night will be Expresión Inka’s band of second-generation youth performing traditional Andean songs with their incredible dance troupe.+ Santiago & Camilo Menjura
