What: Kevin Johansen @ Islington Assembly Hall
When:
Kevin Johansen and his legendary band The Nada, together with renowned cartoonist Liniers, return to London to present their iconic and multifaceted live show — a unique blend of music and illustration. After their London sold-out performance in 2024, Kevin & Liniers are back at the Islington Assembly Hall for another unforgettable night, this time bringing with them the full band and a brand-new album Desde que te Madrid and a new book Es nuestra forma de comunicarnos.
‘Random, witty and sometimes reckless, the songs are as catchy as they come and Johansen a naturally engaging storyteller.’ The Independent
‘Whether in English or Spanish the much-travelled singer’s left-field take on Latin music is quite beautiful.’ The Observer

Who: Kevin Johansen
Blues
Born in Alaska. Now lives in Argentina. Participated in Womad 2005
“The guy lived in New York City for a decade, leaving the Big Apple for Buenos Aires after recording “Sur o no Sur”, he’s perfectly bilingual and shifts back and forth between Spanish, English, and Spanglish throughout Sur o No Sur. And not necessarily from one song to the next, either. It offers new revelations with each listen, and the more studied you are in language and music, the more you’re likely to appreciate Johansen’s talent. This is exactly the sort of highly literate, multicultural music, the more that critics and bohemians live for…” Jason Birchmeier
