, internationally acclaimed ‘new generation’ performance poet, is described as “one of the most refreshing, ever-developing voices in the UK” (Pure Poetry).
Using live sampling technology to layer her soulful singing voice and kalimba (a thumb piano from South Africa), Zena fuses hip-hop, jazz grooves and the raw magic of traditional instruments to create her own soundtracks for her words and stories.
She has performed in Jonzi D’s Aeroplane Man (percussion and vocals), and for BBC Radio 4’s Poetry Please, Guy Barker’s World Café for BBC Radio 3, BBC London Live Radio, and in various short films which were released on Sky Digital and have won awards and high critical acclaim in film festivals across Europe and America.
