"This man's not just original, he's out there!" - Blues and Soul Magazine
Having earned the plaudits of performing this year with, Suen Kuti, Cheik Lo, Mulatu Estatke and Amp fiddler Randolph Matthews ethnic beatbox soul journey has taken him a step further with his solo show entitled Voce Solo. Matthews quotes "I want to reject the predictable boundaries of vocal expression and get to the liberating heart of what we experience in the performance space." And this is what happens in a world class interactive performance Matthews takes the audiences on an organically magical journey through spiritually haunting songs, edge of the seat improvisation and laughter as technology layers his voice. It's like therapy in a room. A journal read aloud and set to music. This time Randolph takes all he has learnt musically and lyrically to a whole new dimension of unique music where no two gigs are alike. As he states "It's got to be live, that's where the genius happens!"
"It's beautifully unhurried, splendidly languorous and unashamedly spiritual" - Flux Magazine.
"Randolph Matthews is a rare breed of artist. With warmth, charisma and soulful delivery, daringly, he brings sounds, melody and instruments from disparate cultures and time into a single contemporary package and bring Soul as we know it into World music or vice versa.World as we know it into Soul music." – DJ Eric Soul (Afrogroov / VoxAfrica / Wahala TV).
