PDX Jazz are proud to present Christian Kuria at Holocene as part of the 2023 Biamp PDX Jazz Festival.
Christian Kuria is a critically acclaimed producer, songwriter, and recording artist. His music has been streamed over 100 million times by fans across the globe.
In late 2019, Christian made his US touring debut as support for the critically acclaimed writer, producer, and singer, Cautious Clay. After tour, Christian released his debut album ‘Borderline’.
Following a string of successful international headlining shows, Kuria went on to release singles ‘Toroka’ and ‘23rd Street’ which received notable recognition from “Grown-ish”, MTV, Apple Music, OkayAfrica, and Amazon Music.
Yawa, also known as Amenta Abioto, is a songwriter and producer from Memphis,TN and currently based in Portland, OR. In her one-woman performance, she builds vocal and instrumental loops from synth, drum machine, and kalimba creating atmospheric textures. Yawa surprises and tantalizes audiences with mind bending ideas while skipping vocally from soul-shaking gospel to smooth jazz. Her music is boldly mystical and soul-fired, and her raw live performances invoke elements of both theatrical and magical surprise.
