Diablada returns with its gaze set on Africa and its diaspora: rap, club sounds and body-driven experimentation take center stage.
Aunty Rayzor arrives from Lagos with a flow as sharp as her name, rapping in English and Yoruba across afrobeat, hip hop and dancehall. Her debut Viral Wreckage (Hakuna Kulala, 2023) established her as one of Nigeria’s fiercest voices; live, she is pure energy, proven at Roskilde and Rewire.
From Nairobi to Berlin, Kabeaushé unleashes a whirlwind of pop, rap, rock and baroque influences. Singer, rapper and producer, each performance becomes a theatrical production that pushes beauty, pain and identity to their limits.
The local anchor comes from Jokkoo Collective, a key Afro-descendant force within Barcelona’s scene. Mooki6, French-Guadeloupean, deconstructs dancehall, bouyon, gqom, drum & bass and metal in visceral sessions already seen at Sónar and Nyege Nyege. Alongside him, TNTC, a Guinean-Spanish selector, explores the most experimental edges of club culture.
Nigeria, Kenya, the Caribbean and Barcelona in a single night. Africa and its diaspora take over La (2) to ignite the second Diablada boiler room.
Radical, ingenious and complex, as if it were a grand and joyful game, the singer, rapper and producer creates a captivating whirlwind of styles and references stretching from their hometown of Nairobi to their current home in Berlin, from French baroque music to film soundtracks, rock, hip hop and pop.
Everything feels both surprising and perfectly coherent as a wide range of musical, cinematic and visual influences intensify within their extravagant gesamtkunstwerk of pop culture.
“It should hurt your ears a little,” they say, warm and approachable in conversation yet completely furious on stage. Exploring ideas of beauty, pain and identity to their furthest consequences, Kabeaushé is a hypercreative force constantly pushing boundaries, as reflected in the title of their second and most recent album: KABEAUSHÉ PRESENTS: IGGY SWAGGERING UNGRATEFUL INCESSANT LITTLE PEEEAAAAAAA”.
Bisola Olugbenga, known artistically as Aunty Rayzor, is a dynamic rapper and vocalist from Lagos, Nigeria. She raps in both English and Yoruba, developing her skills through church singing and underground rap battles.
Her debut album, Viral Wreckage (Hakuna Kulala, 2023), received widespread critical acclaim. The Quietus described her as “one of Nigeria’s most uncompromising emerging artists,” highlighting hooks that “cut deep into the skin” and irresistibly danceable rhythms. Resident Advisor praised her stylistic breadth and incisive flow, presenting her as “a serious contender for global recognition.” Boomkat celebrated her “direct and forceful rhythms that blend influences from West Africa and the United States,” while Loud And Quiet noted how her verses intertwine with “cavernous basslines and minimalist synthesizer passages,” fusing afrobeat, hip hop and dancehall into a unique and captivating sound.
Renowned for her exceptional live performances, Aunty Rayzor delivers high-energy, impactful shows, igniting festival stages such as Roskilde Festival, Paleo Festival, Couleur Café, Rewire Festival, Donaufestival and Colours of Ostrava, in addition to numerous sold-out performances in Nigeria, including The Shrine during Felabration.
Her razor-sharp flow, versatile vocal delivery and fearless stage presence have established her as one of the most exciting and distinctive voices in contemporary Nigerian rap.
