We were very excited to be attending the event for the first time this year, together with the likes of Gorillaz, Kendrick Lamar, and Richie Hawtin performing, so we sent editor Adam Turner-Heffer out to see what all the fuss was about.
Juanita Euka is not a Latin-American singer, she is not a Congolese singer, she is not a Londoner - she is all of those things at the same time and unapologetically herself. On her debut she explores themes of identity, cultural trauma, and pains of colonialism, while also empowering and celebrating Black female identity. Between Congo, Cuba, London, Peru, and Argentina, Juanita Euka walked us through her creative process.
