Ezra Collective + JOY (Anonymous) @ Zenith Paris-La Villette

Super! presents

Ezra Collective in an exceptional concert on February 24, 2027 at Zénith Paris - La Villette.

Here Because Of Hope is the most ambitious and personal album of Ezra Collective's career. Conceived as a work divided into three spiritual and geographical movements, it traces the journey of Black people across continents and decades, from the melodies of Africa to the rhythms of the Caribbean, all the way to the streets of London. Formed in London youth clubs, the Mercury Prize and BRIT Award-winning band – featuring Femi Koleoso, TJ Koleoso, Joe Armon-Jones, James Mollison, and Ife Ogunjobi – has spent over a decade making jazz joyful, urgent, and unmissable. With Here Because Of Hope, they push this vision further than ever, asking a simple yet profound question: why does so much Black music born from suffering sound so joyful? Their answer: hope. That belief, passed down through generations and across oceans, that something better is possible.

Anchored by collaborations with Pa Salieu, Lila Iké, Leona Lewis, and stretching across the full diversity of the global African diaspora (including America, where these very African and Caribbean roots gave birth to jazz), Here Because Of Hope is an album of remarkable warmth, ambition, and humanity, and the sound of one of the UK's most essential bands at the peak of their powers.
