VI.BE

wandering music, rooted songs. a clown becomes a witch, lullabies turn into prayers, poems into rap, blues flirts with opera. with lyrics both intimate & political, poetic and sharp, sura carries us away into their world, a world where softness & love is a fierce & committed choice. the audience cannot be passive & silent, they become a choir, creatures, witnesses, family. In an instant, the ambient air heats up, & wherever the concert takes place, it becomes a circle, a ritual. We emerge more powerful, more loving, ready to "make hope contagious" (#alokvmenon).

inspired by artists such as bobby mc ferrin, cocorosie, devendra banhart, lior shoov, nina simone, ibrahim maalouf, & yom, sura released their first solo album - roar - in 2022 at botanique. they released - soaked - & - out of the blue - with las lloronas in 2020 & 2023. sura's latest musical release - breaking the silence - came out on the 7th of June 2024, & is an experimental EP. it is a musical commentary mixing acoustic improvisation, documentary soundscapes & techno-trash productions, inspired by palestine, sura's jewishness & the current horrors in the swana* region. sura's second album - i will be dead - is on its way & will celebrate its analogue release on the 28th of january 2026 in botanique, with a few singles tipping their heads out starting from - feed the clouds - on the 18th of september 2025 & - dance & giggle - on the 18th of november.

sura is an abundantly versatile and creative artist, they offer the world their colorful roars and purrs, step by step, cloud by cloud, with humble and overflowing generosity.
