What makes Loma Vista special?

Strong voices from hip-hop: Sampa The Great, who was born in Zambia and made her name in Australia, went back to her homeland for “As Above So Below”. Denzel Curry takes a reflective approach on “Melt My Eyez See Your Future”, with plenty of jazz in the sound.

Alongside them St. Vincent: on “Daddy’s Home” she plays with the sound of the seventies, on “MassEducation” she sings her songs to piano alone. And pianist Robert Glasper brings jazz, soul and hip-hop together on “Black Radio III”.
