XEXA

Based in London but with roots in São Tomé e Príncipe, XEXA is one of the Príncipe label's most idiosyncratic artists, blending chamber pop with kizomba in her own distinct way. Her music is almost impossible to define, somewhere between 4AD's early nocturnal experiments, led by her own striking vocals, and the sensual Angolan dance music that's been one of the foundations of Príncipe's output since the beginning.
