Ezra Collective + JOY (Anonymous) @ Zenith Paris-La Villette

Super! presents

Ezra Collective in an exceptional concert on February 24, 2027 at Zénith Paris - La Villette.

Here Because Of Hope is the most ambitious and personal album of Ezra Collective's career. Conceived as a work divided into three spiritual and geographical movements, it traces the journey of Black people across continents and decades, from the melodies of Africa to the rhythms of the Caribbean, right up to the streets of London. Formed in London youth clubs, the Mercury Prize and BRIT Awards-winning band—composed of Femi Koleoso, TJ Koleoso, Joe Armon-Jones, James Mollison, and Ife Ogunjobi—has spent more than a decade making jazz joyful, urgent, and essential. With Here Because Of Hope, they push this vision further than ever, asking a simple yet profound question: why does so much Black music born of suffering sound so joyful? Their answer: hope. That belief, passed down across generations and oceans, that something better is possible.

Anchored by collaborations with Pa Salieu, Lila Iké, Leona Lewis, and spanning the full diversity of the global African diaspora (including America, where those same African and Caribbean roots gave birth to jazz), Here Because Of Hope is an album of remarkable warmth, ambition, and humanity, and the sound of one of the UK's most essential bands at the height of its craft.
