Ishmael Ensemble - Chapter 5


All the way from bristol
&
for the first time in Portugal

WHY this chapter is “just
ISHMAEL ENSEMBLE ?

Because we are completely crazy about the band since 2021. The album “Visions of Light” dropped in early August and somehow for reasons we cannot explain the music spoke to us on a deeper level. when we say we do this job because we love it, well you can be certain it is our pleasure and honour to share their music in portugal.


BUT DON’t Trust us. Trust everyone else.

The group's follow up record 'Visions of Light' saw them further blur the lines between Jazz & Electronic music, taking the listener on an expansive journey in sound whilst flying the flag for their hometown of Bristol. The record went on to be crowned Huey Morgan's "Album of the Year" on BBC 6 Music and saw them perform at The New York Winter Jazz Festival for Gilles Peterson.

Making music that’s pitched somewhere between astral jazz, burbling electronica, trippy minimalism, psychedelic dub and 20 years of club culture. Contemporary album of the month
— The Guardian
A band seemingly capable of doing anything, yet remaining fleet footedly themselves throughout.
— The Wire
A deeply arresting sound from one of our favourite cities, simply beautiful
— Mary Anne Hobbs
