Romheen met La Zona + hoofdletterF + Lis Luna

Since Romheen met La Zona met, only one thing has been left to chance. That was their meeting. La Zona makes music by feel, about feel and with feel. Jazzy grooves, Latin American touches, shades of hardcore, freestyle. On feel, about feel and with feel between the lines. To the timbre of his voice, you are transported away to the horizon of your imagination. Since their chance meeting, they bring music and lyrics so close together that a special symbiosis has emerged, in which emotions and imagination are central.

In 2020, Femke Torensma debuted as hoofdletterF with her theatre performance ‘that I look like bog’, a spoken word monologue set to music, with which she performed at Noorderzon, Liberation Festival Assen and FestiValderAa, among others. You can find her on various poetry stages, such as Mensen Zeggen Dingen, VV Eigen Belang and Poetry Slam. In 2023, she won the AMAI jury prize for best spoken word performance.

Lis Luna is honest, sincere and already too long gone time to open her mouth. With her, in her own words, ‘pretty talk’, she brings a cadence of both confrontation and recognition. Balancing between poetry and spoken word, she gives words to the observations of a young adult that should not go unspoken. Rhythmically, she explores the frayed edges of intimacy and identity always with room for vulnerability. She reminds you of what you would have wanted to say yourself, had you dared to think it.
