Leila Adu returns to New Zealand from an adulatory reception in Europe and the United States and a growing international reputation. Before presenting two concerts in the Auckland Arts Festival Leila returns to Happy for a welcome home concert.

She will be supported by Tom Callwood (bass), Chris O’Connor (drums) and Jeff Henderson (sax).

“With a voice like hot treacle on broken glass her vocal range and style will produce shivers down your spine, goosebumps on your arms and draw you inexorably into a state of rarefied musical intoxication. Praised by critics and fans alike, Adu explores the dissonant edges of familiar forms with a voice that is simply incomparable.”
