BEL COBAIN

Bel Cobain's career is unthinkable apart from the pulsing jazz and soul clubs of the British capital - but she gets her songwriting inspiration from separate places. The young Londoner only recently moved out to rural Kent. She composed the songs for her current EP "Radical Forgiveness" in Mexico City and the Aztec-influenced city of Oaxaca. She has been influenced by various artists such as Kate Bush, Fela Kuti and Jill Scott and Bel Cobain. Bel Cobain is an extraordinary newcomer whose eclectic mix of jazz and psychedelic soul with soft drum and bass beats fits perfectly with the colorful lineup. At ELBJAZZ she presents her songs with a well-rehearsed live band.
