Critic Consensus
Based on 11 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Sampa The Great is rated as an impressive live performer, with many notable strengths. Sampa The Great concert reviews describe live shows and performances as high-energy, layered, and electrifying.
Sampa the Great (Sampa Tembo) is a poet and singer-songwriter. Expressing herself through music, poetry and visual art, Sampa captures listeners with thought provoking words, while encouraging people to enjoy the simplicity of creativity.
With a humble demeanour, a beautiful aura and a broad smile, she lit up the room early with her unique soulful voice layered over warm electronic beats.
Like the evening's headliner, Birdz feels urgent; his music delivers searing, injustice-born anger (Black Lives Matter: "this shit keeps happening") and, also like the headliner, his music is generous to those willing to listen.
As it turns out, dancing the night away to ‘Zamrock’ is a wholly effective way to unwind after an unexpectedly hot and sticky week in the city. The Vancouver show marked Sampa the Great’s return to Canada so it felt fitting for Torontonian alt-r&b newcomer IDMAN to kick things off.
