Description

Known for pioneering their own style of jazz-informed hip hop, Digable Planets are Ishmael Butler (‘Butterfly’), Craig Irving (‘Doodlebug’) and Mary Ann Vieira (‘Ladybug Mecca’). The trio burst onto the music scene in 1993 with the Grammy-winning single Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat). The follow-up debut album Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space) melded jazz samples and complex rhymes that touched on everything from the nuances of city life to abortion rights. It was a rich and vibrant artistic statement – and a commercial success – that proved to be hugely influential for a new generation of Black artists. After a brief hiatus, Digable Planets performed a string of shows in 2015, and have been touring ever since, rocking crowds with their live band. More than 30 years after their debut, their music still shines, and the iconic group continues to bring their celebrated stage show to excited crowds around the world. Digable Planets’ seminal release Blowout Comb has aged beautifully and it’s this album – and a sprinkling of their best-known tracks – that will be performed at WOMADelaide. Tickets on sale now.
