ENIGMATIC, creative, talented and appealing are four words that spring to mind when describing the artist that is DELENCIA, the British Singer/Songwriter/Performer and producer introducing a new sound to the current market under the banner‘ 'AfroUrban'.
Her fresh and versatile sound is a hybrid of R&B and Soul with traditional and contemporary African music, which she approaches from a unique and creative stance that is not only interesting but unventured.
By taking sounds from Africa, such as african drums, tribal sounds, as well as sampling african music, she pulls apart preconceptions of what R&B and Soul should sound like, pushing the boundaries of these genres into new realms and re-interpreting them by taking them to places they have never been before, to create a vibrant, experimental and a creative sound of her own which stands alone amidst the current trends of the UK music industry today.
Her music both promotes the sounds of Africa whilst balancing it with Western-style production .SEE MYSPACE
