Ezra Collective Sets the Stage Ablaze with ‘Ajala’ and Historic Wembley Announcement

Jazz lovers, get ready to be swept off your feet! Ezra Collective, the 2023 Mercury Music Prize winners, are surging through the music scene with the release of their invigorating new single ‘Ajala’. This latest bout of sonic brilliance not only enthralls fans but also heralds their highly anticipated upcoming album.
- ‘Ajala’ is now spinning its magic across the airwaves and streaming platforms, courtesy of Partisan Records.
- Their milestone Wembley show is slated for November 15th, a historic first for a UK jazz act.
- Inspiration for ‘Ajala’ is drawn from the remarkable life of explorer Olabisi Ajala, famed for his globe-trotting escapades on a scooter.
It’s more than just music; it’s a tribute to adventure and the unstoppable human spirit to explore. Drummer Femi Koleoso elaborates, “This song is all about that instinctive movement, that desire to go places that’s hardwired in all of us.”
After a whirlwind of sold-out tours and the honor of being the first jazz ensemble to win the Mercury Prize in its history, Ezra Collective is not just making waves—they’re creating a tsunami of musical excellence.
Looking forward, the quintet is primed for their 2024 EU tour, with a grand finale at the OVO Arena Wembley. Mark your calendars, as tickets go live on May 3rd at 10 am!
