QUANZA is a genre-defying Afro-Surinamese artist whose raw, untamed energy fuses black psychedelic rock and hip-hop into a sound that feels both electrifying and futuristic. A love child between Jimi Hendrix and N.E.R.D. With a guitar in hand and a full band behind him, he turns stages into wildfires. Last year he brought his EP release to Paradiso’s Upstairs Room, and if you’ve been to Super-Sonic Jam on the regular, chances are you’ve already caught him in action. His music has been championed by BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM, Mixmag, and Patta, and praised by Jazzism and Gitarist NL for its explosive originality.
