A Monthly Culture Matrix For the Cosmopolitan Traveler

Electric Soul Festival


O2 Arena / London / Music

“It’s the Caribbean heritage mixed with American influence,” says Omar, who’s been described as the father of British neo-soul music, “and then it’s the Cockney.” This is what gives U.K. soul its Union Jack character, setting its beats off from those across the pond.
