One night only!
Mala Leche is the debut hip hop record from Doves' Jimi Goodwin, under the nom-de-plume NightjaR. He assembled some of his favourite MCs for the project, and for one night only the whole flock orbits Manchester for the debut live performance of songs from the album.
The fiercely independent Homeboy Sandman; Detroit royalty Guilty Simpson and Quelle Chris; underground king Sonnyjim; Bronx-residing Pruven with Cannibal Ox's Vast Aire, plus Manchester prodigy Burgundy Blood all perform songs from Mala Leche live, for the first time, anywhere.
NightjaR is a murky, beat-driven aspect of Goodwin's output that provides a useful alias in the process of him becoming completely himself. After appearing on Pan Amsterdam's second LP 'Ha Chu' under the guise of Coup Diablo, Jimi honed the NightjaR sound which was fleshed out further by the illustrious MCs joining him tonight.
Jimi performs and provides musical direction for the event, together with fellow Ha Chu veteran and well known face at Band on the Wall, Agent J of Groovement.
Jimi Goodwin
After four hugely acclaimed releasaes with Doves, including the number 1 albums 'The Last Broadcast' and 'Some Cities', frontman Jimi Goodwin decided to take a break from the band and released his debut solo album in 2014; 'Odludek'. The album includes a collaboration with Elbow's Guy Garvey and is far more eclectic than Doves. Jim's solo material is a heady mystic brew steeped in Northern Soul, southern gospel, hip-hop, psychedelica, ambient, krautrock, dub, funk and acid house. "I wanted it to be like that crazy mixtape you'd make your mate," says Jim.
