Aïsha Devi, born in Switzerland with Nepali Indigenous heritage uses her powerful voice, merges it with unique production skills and draws upon various influences of music from throughout history, old to new and vice versa. Les Immortelles is a both a visual and musical production prepared in collaboration with artist Emmanuel Biard, who has a history of working with electronic musicians. Supported by the tracks of her last album Death is Home, her most personal work yet, Aisha Devi’s will take us through a journey reflecting loss, life, and their social construct beyond the mere human condition.

Aisha Devi Biography
No one on this planet sounds like Aïsha Devi. Her voice is her most powerful tool in a repertoire that includes thumping beats and rave stabs, seraphic and guttural singing, mystical linguistics and corporeal sonics.
Born in Switzerland with Nepali Indigenous heritage, a transversal identity was forged, guiding both her personal and creative process. Dislocating pop culture, also evident in her mixes for Resident Advisor, FACT, NTS, BBC Radio and Mixmag.
In 2013 Devi co-founded Danse Noire, a label collective supporting insurrectional electronic music from around the world, where she released her breakout EP, followed by ‘Hakken Dub / Throat Dub’ in 2014.
In 2015, Aïsha Devi released her debut album, ‘Of Matter And Spirit’, a significant sonic statement rich in political and philosophical subtext. 2018 saw the release of Devi’s sophomore album, ‘DNA Feelings’, an acclaimed record addressing the impact of sound on an atomic level. While she currently uses music as her primary medium of expression, Devi’s practice is fundamentally interdisciplinary - she studied graphic design and collaborates with visual and performance artists as well as making her own interventions within the art world.
Devi has worked closely with Chinese artist Tianzhuo Chen on a string of videos, most notably at The Barbican and The Broad Museum (LA), also recently composed for and performed with the BBC Concert Orchestra at London’s Queen Elizabeth Music Hall.
