Anjalica Solomon
5:01pm - 5:59pm
If Raveena Arora, Leanne La Havas, and Akua Naru had a musical brainchild, it would be emerging musician Anjalica Solomon. With their debut, “Honey Queen” an erotic, queer love poem written in the spirit of neo soul artists such as Erykah Badu Solomon showcases their talent as a vocalist trained in the classical hindustani tradition and jazz. In a radio world filled with pop songs about love between cis men and cis women, this queer brown anthem is a radical act of resistance.
Solomon is a genderfluid Desi singer, songwriter, lyricist, pianist, clarinet player, loop pedalist, poet, spoken word artist, organiser and multi-disciplinary performer based in what is colonially known as Vancouver, B.C. They live on the stolen and unsurrendered territories of the Coast Salish, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam Nations.
