Greentea Peng Tickets

Reggae meets old-school trip hop with Greentea Peng

Greentea Peng reminds one immediately of the dreamy yet lyrically sharp trip hop of artists like Massive Attack, Tricky (ex-member of the former) and Portishead. That's one aspect of her sound. The other is a light ragga and reggae flavour that gives her music a breezy quality as well. It's summer music, coming from a place of celebrating the small things in life and living in the moment. Her voice is very similar to that of Martina Topley-Bird, who was also part of the original Bristol scene and featured prominently on Tricky's albums in the mid-1990s. You can buy or sell Greentea Peng tickets on StubHub.

Breezy reggae with raspy street vocals

Greentea Peng cites her main female singing influences as Lauren Hill and Ms Dynamite, and you'll easily be able to recognise both of them in her musical and vocal style. She's obviously listened to a lot of The Fugees, and if you're familiar with their material you'll know precisely the kind of breezy, reggae-influenced hip hop you can expect here as well. At the same time she acknowledges a large musical debt to the reggae fusion of Finley Quaye. She uses a clipped style of rap (once again echoing Topley-Bird's influence) which gives her otherwise laidback music an edgy street feel that nicely complements the ocean-side vibe. It makes her music sound equally at home when you're on holiday as it does on the streets of her own south London neighbourhood. If this is the kind of music that you also love, you'll want to find yourself some Greentea Peng tickets right away and get ready to dance the night away.

Supporting Neneh Cherry with her down-to-earth music

Greentea Peng takes her name from a simple source – her love of the colour green, and of green tea itself. There's nothing more esoteric to it than that, unfortunately. In a way it's a reflection of the artist and her music too: down-to-earth and uncomplicated, with a straightforward way of expressing herself that fits her lazy trip hop-cross-reggae beats to a tee. Her debut EP, "Sensi", is a deep dive into dub-ey trip hop, shot through with LA street beats. Sometimes her voice carries a vague hint of South Central swagger, while at other times it has a Jamaican lilt to it. It's a completely absorbing blend of sounds and rhythms that is dreamy and intoxicating, allowing her lyrical messages to come through strongly. She began to make waves on the London scene when she landed a support slot for Neneh Cherry, and has often been mentioned in the same breath as IAMDDB.
