Olay - Everywhere at Once Festival

Olay [https://www.instagram.com/olaya.band]are a band inspired by northeastern Brazilian bandas de pifanos (bamboo flutes), with the elemental force of flutes, rich vocal harmonies, driving percussion and bass. Their music is heavily rhythmic and contagiously fun, a fresh take on a traditional Brazilian sound never before heard in the UK.United by their passion for Brazilian music and exploring sounds, Olay formed in 2023. After their sold-out debut gig, they were quickly approached by bookers across the country and have since headlined at festivals including Jaminaround, Basket of Light, Smugglers, Ealing Jazz Festival & Leeds Festival as well as selling out multiple London gigs. The band have just recorded their debut EP featuring original tunes which weave seamlessly between musical influences such as forr, maracat, soul, jazz and rock. Olay's show at the Harrison will feature these new tunes plus more!Olays musicians have long been at the forefront of Londons Brazilian music scene. They have played in festivals and venues internationally with a plethora of artists including Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Alvorada and Antonio Forcione and have appeared on BBC Radio 3, Jazz FM, Worldwide FM and the West End stage.Join Olay for this intimate show at The Harrison as part of Everywhere at Once Festival, promoting fantastic grassroots live music in venues across the UK.
