about

Oozing urban and tropical, jazz infused electronic sounds, Lucked In is a serious vibe. Formed in Paris in late 2017, the trio draws upon an intercontinental wealth of musical traditions to produce a cutting edge approach to experimental afro sounds, fully DIY punk in its attitude. Poet and rapper Kwame Write (Ghana) conjures the ancestors of afrobeat and calls up ancient Akan aphorisms. His urgent, multi-lingual verses merge with the ethereal vocal melodies of singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Black Rainbow (New Zealand/Ghana, a.k.a. Leila Adu), working in tandem with saxophonist and producer Alejandro Van Zandt-Escobar (Colombia/USA) to produce percussive live electronica creations that remain firmly left of center.

The trio met in Paris in 2017 when all three were living there, and organized an impromptu poetry / music jam session in a rum bar in the 11th arrondissement. Drawing from a wide range of experiences as people who have immigrated several times, living between different cultures and having multiple countries which they have called home, difficult to pin-point their identities musical or otherwise.

On the themes of the EP, the band expains: “ Many of the songs speak of the sociopolitical impact of a world that is increasingly interconnected, increasing movement of people and in reaction increasing hostility towards others. Experience of living between cultures, tensions between tradition and modernity”

The group is currently dispersed between Tema / Copenhagen (Kwame), NYC (Leila) and Paris (Alejandro), staying alive in this digital age through shared sessions, chance encounters as we cross paths, performance opportunities, etc.

Mastered by Leon Atter at BAM Studios
Recorded and mixed by Jean-Charles Versari at Poptones Studio, Paris
