Elsy Wameyo – ‘River Nile’
Described as both a journey of spirituality and personal growth, Nilotic takes its name from the Kenyan tribes to which Wameyo traces her heritage. Nilotic represents the Adelaide-based artist’s desire to process the frustration and sadness of the world through her music.
Elsy Wameyo will begin her tour with a hometown show at Adelaide’s The Lab on Friday, 5th August. She’ll visit Melbourne’s Northside Records for a free show on Saturday, 6th August.
