 Estère brings her live show from the UK to Aotearoa this summer!

 

Estère visits from the UK for a festival and intimate venue Aotearoa tour!

After relocating to London in mid-2023, the Empress of electric-blue witch hop, Estère has been filling her days writing and recording with other songwriters and producers, landing DJ gigs around the city, and flying to Cameroon to feature at the Douala Arts Festival.

Now Estère returns to Aotearoa to share her new, dynamic, rhythm-focussed performance, creating a mesmerising summer-vibe show for her fans across the motu.

Continually creating innovative and captivating stage shows, Estère says, "I'm going to be bringing a new concept to audiences which will be really fun and engaging. I've had the opportunity to absorb some pretty special things and places in 2023 - and all of this is going to culminate in my live set. People can expect joy, fresh musicality and dynamism."

Estère will be performing twice at Splore on Friday February 23rd: First up is a dance-inducing afternoon DJ set at the Crystal Palace Stage, followed by her night performance, where Estère will be accompanied by renowned dancers Kalya Paige (WOW choreographer) and Astarte Iman (House of Iman) at the Naked Eye Cabaret Stage.

At her intimate club shows, Estère will be joined on stage by percussionist and producer extraordinaire Carly Gill from Kedú Carlö. Their performance will incorporate bangers from her Mākara Peak tour as well as new jams inspired from her world experiences over the past six months.

Check out Estère's Instagram for more music, and her Patreon to follow her journey of self-discovery in London, Paris and Cameroon.

Estère live show reviews, Mākara Peak tour, May 2023:

"This woman should be playing in arenas! Her sound continues to evolve and her latest EP Mākara Peak is a richly textured soundscape, that she translates into a visual feast! As if she wasn’t mesmerising enough – she brought along a pair of extraordinary dancers performing some otherworldly choreography." - Veronica McLaughlan, 13th Floor

"Estère and her team put on a show of incomparable quality. All of her adoring fans in attendance certainly left fired up by every exciting number, having been served an apt reminder that there is truly nobody in the Aotearoa music scene quite like Estère." - Danika Bryant, Muzic.net.nz

About Estère:

Estère’s unique brand of Electric Blue Witch-Hop creates an unparalleled melange of sounds.

Both a producer and artist, Estère references a vast range of genres including electronic, hip-hop, RnB and folk music. Estère bedecks her production with a rich elastic voice that she uses to convey the stories and emotion found within her lyrics. The clang and bubble or a hookah pipe, the coy hiss of Vietnamese bamboo trees, the angry crash of a cutlery drawer, the clicking tongue of a friend laughing, are all examples of found-sounds Estère has sampled and surreptitiously slipped into her music.

Estère has brought manifestations of her unique live show to Europe, Africa and Asia, as well as opened for the likes of Grace Jones, Erykah Badu and Hiatus Kaiyote. Estère’s onstage talent and energy has earned her invitations to international festivals including Glastonbury (UK), Afropunk Paris (FR), Bushfire Festival (Swaziland), WOMAD (NZ), Aarhus Festuge (Denmark), Sori Arts Festival (South Korea) and Douala Arts Festival (Cameroon). She has also headlined sold-out shows in the UK, France and New Zealand and has been twice nominated for NZ Music Awards, including Best Producer (2018) and Critics Choice Award (2015). In 2022 Estère was selected as the first featured artist in New Zealand's internationally renowned, largest annual production - the World of WearableArts Awards Show; performing to over 60,000 people, Estère's music formed the soundtrack for the event.

Estère's beat-forward EP Mākara Peak was released in December 2022; 2021's acclaimed full-length Archetypes was produced by Massive Attack's Stew Jackson; the 2017 double-album My Design, On Other's Lives gained Estère global fans; and Estère's eponymous breakthrough album in 2015, Estère sent her on tour to wow the far reaches of the globe.
