About this concert
De Britse zanger Myles Sanko is een ware soul- en jazzman. Zijn wortels liggen in Ghana en Frankrijk en zijn muziek weerspiegelt een mix van diverse culturele invloeden en veerkracht. Zijn reis begon met het zingen en rappen in het nachtleven van Cambridge en later als straatmuzikant.
Met zijn funky, jazzy en vintage soul trad hij vervolgens over de hele wereld op, waaronder samen met Gregory Porter en met James Browns souldiva Martha High. Myles laat zich inspireren door grote soulartiesten als Bill Withers, Otis Redding, Al Green en James Brown. Deze stijl hoor je in Myles’ debuut Born in Black & White, dat in 2013 verscheen en hem een wereldwijde fanbase – met daarin Gregory Porter – opleverde.
In oktober van dit jaar verschijnt zijn zesde album Let It Unfold, waarvan hij alle nummers zelf componeerde, produceerde en op zijn eigen label 213 Music uitbrengt. Op dit album rekent Sanko af met trauma’s uit zijn kindertijd en zingt hij over zijn toekomstdromen. Het maken van de songs was therapeutische voor Sanko en geeft hem nieuwe kracht: het hielp hem om zijn kwetsbaarheden te omarmen en zijn sterke kanten te vieren.
Hoe dat klinkt? Verwacht soul, jazz, hiphop en de ritmische invloeden van zijn Ghanese roots samengesmeed tot één catchy soulvolle sound.

Myles Sanko Biography
Myles Sanko (born May 8, 1980 in Accra ) is a British soul and jazz singer, songwriter, composer, cinematographer, artist of Ghanaian and French origin.
Born during a pivotal moment when Ghana was going through a political uprising led by JJ Rawlings. Although there was unrest and attempted coups, Ghana was in state of excitable change and growth which was felt during his upbringing in Tema before moving to Cambridge in the 90s.
He began his musical career singing and rapping alongside disc jockeys in nightclubs. Since then he toured across Europe and worked with the likes of Gregory Porter, Martha High, Mousse T, Speedometer, Billy Wooten, China Mosses, Ben l'Oncle Soul, Sarah McKenzie, Miss Kelly Marie, Mo’ Horizons, Ed Meme, Chris Read, Robin Mullarkey, Ben Lamdin (Nostalgia 77) and many more.
Myles Sanko recorded and self-released his debut album Born In Black & White in 2013. He then went on to signing a licensing deal with Légère Recordings from Hamburg who released Forever Dreaming in 2014, Just Being Me in 2016, Memories Of Love in 2021 and Live at Philharmonie Luxembourg in 2023.
“My intention,” writes Myles, “is to produce music with a feel good vibe and lyrical content that makes my listeners think.”
