A proud Burundian of many cultures, Betina Quest provides a stunning collage of Soul, Hip Hop, Electro, Afro Folk and Spoken Word. She is both beat-biased song and spheric sound, conversational lyric and heartfelt vocal. The multi-instrumentalist delivers an intriguing one-woman performance as she lets viewers in when sharing her personal story and letting them be part of her creative process. Beats are mostly reproduced on the spot with loop station, sampler and synth. When joining forces with other instrumentalists the proximity to her audience remains allowing for an equally electrifying experience.
At present the artist is working on her first album length projecttaking inspiration from living in Sub-Saharan Africa for the first time. The homecoming is stirring up a lot of story, rhythm and sound she is anticipating to soon share.
She is one third of Nyamekye Junction, a new critically acclaimed band from Accra described as 'absolutely brilliant' by Gilles Peterson.
