Ezra Collective brought out London youth club Kinetika Bloco for their performance at BBC 6 Music Festival. Check it out below.The moment took place during their headline performance on Thursday (March 27) night at the Manchester-based festival.“6 Music made it beautifully specific that they wanted the gig to feel different, to have a specific theme, and they gave us the planning permission to choose it ourselves,” Femi Koleoso told the crowd. “And every single time we’ve got a decision to make as Ezra Collective, we always go for the thing that we feel is most honest.“You have to tell the truth, and the truth is, if we are to celebrate one thing, it has to be a celebration of all the youth clubs and all the schools that are teaching young people to play music.”The band then welcomed the London-based youth club – who all wore t-shirts emblazoned with the slogan ‘Youth Clubs Change Lives’ – to the stage for a lively reindiiton of ‘God Gave Me Feet For Dancing’, taken from their 2024 album ‘Dance, No One’s Watching‘.Kinetika Bloco is a youth music charity featuring young brass and woodwind players, drummers, steel pan and dancers inspired by music from Caribbean, Brazil, Africa and New Orleans.
