As part of his European tour, Bobby Alu will make his debut in the Czech Republic, where he will perform on 8 November at Café V lese in Vršovice.
If you ask Bobby Alu from Byron Bay, Australia, what his music sounds like, he'll tell you how he hopes you'll feel when you listen to it: like you're holding your favorite drink and sipping it at sunset on a humid evening with a hint of adventure. In an ideal world, he'd go around the globe in search of summer, endlessly trying to capture that feeling in his songs.
For Bobby, it's important to let the music decide where it takes you - creatively and physically. It's playing the ukulele with old friends at the local market in exchange for a box of vegetables, because how weird is it to improvise with people who buy bananas at seven in the morning on a Tuesday? It's a trip to Ghana with only a hunch and a WhatsApp number to track down the beats that get his heart racing. Five years travelling the world as Xavier Rudd's percussionist, learning how to make the leap to becoming an internationally acclaimed artist himself. It's honoring his Samoan heritage by sharing the stage and releasing an EP with his mother to connect with the language of his homeland. It's always about being open to discovery: if you choose music, you choose all of it.
