Posting today’s 5 star London Times (@thetimes) review of my exciting @thejazzcafe gig from the night before. I’m decompressing from the high buzz. The audiences were amazing. They fed me the energy, love, and enthusiasm to make it a memorable show for all. The synergy between us all is unforgettable. Read The Times’ review at the link in my bio.

Asha Puthli. Yoko Ono. Neneh Cherry. What do these 3 incredible artists have in common?
A still from Yoko Ono’s Tate retrospective keeps popping up in my mind- Her with Ornette Coleman at their '68 @royalalberthall gig. Made me think of @ashaputhli & idea of a young Yoko & Asha stepping into USA~both breaking cultural boundaries, acting in experimental films & music & collaborating with Ornette Coleman
Yoko was 1st vocalist to perform live with him & Asha made history as 1st vocalist he recorded for his seminal album Science Fiction, winning her The DownBeat Critics’ Poll
I’ve been fascinated by how she ended up on that record. PICTURE IT- late ’60s, she becomes an airline stewardess to get a passport~ lands in NYC as 1st S.Asain to get Martha Graham dance scholarship. An Original Code-Changer~she's embraced by parallel worlds of downtown Avant Garde & Counter Culture
Meanwhile, legendary record man John Hammond Sr. reads about her in a New Yorker profile by Ved Mehta.Transfixed, Hammond asks Mehta how to meet her. Unaware she's been in NYC for 6 months & tried to get her audition tapes past his gatekeepers. Mehta connects them & Hammond takes Asha under his wing
IN WALKS HAMMOND WITH ASHA Ornette was deep into Science Fiction with co-architect Don Cherry Searching for a voice for it's sonic landscapes~Asha's ethereal voice (singing between the notes) flips the role of a featured vocalist, which anchored its Sci-fi emotional gravity
Decades later: Iconic Neneh Cherry~Don Cherry’s stepdaughter~ brings the lineage full circle~Growing up with Ornette’s music as "lullabies of her youth" her 2012 tribute album The Cherry Thing ~ends with a deeply moving cover of “What Reason Could I Give” reinterpreting otherworldly vocal blueprint Asha laid down 40yrs prior
Asha, Yoko, & Neneh: genre-defying iconoclasts, claimed agency & shaped music history. Had Asha compromised & changed her name to Anna Peters, she might have been a household name decades ago. Instead, she chose her own path & today, she's commanding her resurgence on her own terms
14TH NOV-See her live @barbicancentre With Fellow Innovators @anoushkashankarofficial @yazzahmedmusic @sarathykorwar

Life imitating art
I was at my summer home to unplug. There's a waterfall there. The constant sound of falling water fills the home - no internet, spotty phone connection, and a meditative ambiance. The director of the documentary about my life, @shrutirya, needed archival material so I was rummaging through the cellar. Here is one of the photographs of me done by iconic photographer Richard Avedon, which she asked me to recreate. (This photo was recently used on the Mr.Bongo compilation of my music called "Essential Asha".) The then and now, coming out of the woodworks.

To mark the release of the eighth volume in Mr Bongo’s iconic ‘Record Club’ compilation series, we are putting on a free entry party at @roughtradeeast on Sunday June 28th. Running from 3pm to 7pm, it’s an afternoon into evening celebration of music from around the world, with DJ sets from Mr Bongo, as well as some very special guests joining us…
A rare in-store performance from pioneering vocalist @ashaputhli, appearing for a special 30-minute live set with her band. A defining voice across jazz, disco and electronic music, Puthli’s cult recordings including ‘Space Talk’ and ‘The Devil Is Loose’, alongside her landmark collaboration with Ornette Coleman have established her as one of the most distinctive artists in modern music history. Alongside her celebrated catalogue, she continues to work within contemporary music culture, including a recent feature on Gorillaz’s The Mountain (“The Moon Cave”), as well as her new single ‘PAWA!’ with Say She She. This intimate set offers a rare opportunity to experience her music up close in a focused live setting.
@holliecookie will also be taking to the stage to perform tracks from her incredible ‘Shy Girl In Dub!’ album. Expect vintage dub reggae; crafted on an analogue mixing desk, weaving in delays, echoes, and reverb to push Hollie’s trademark sound into a hypnotising, rhythm and bass-heavy, electronic realm.
Both Asha and Hollie will be signing albums and merch after their performances. You’ll also be able to purchase the coloured vinyl special edition of Mr Bongo Record Club Vol. 8 double LP, an exclusive to Rough Trade. Plus there will be a wide-selection of the Mr Bongo catalogue available.
