Alfa Mist

The British pianist, composer and producer Alfa Mist, one of the leading figures of the new British jazz scene, visits UMusic Hotel Teatro Albéniz on 31 October as part of the Villanos del Jazz cycle and JAZZMADRID26. Festival Internacional Jazz Madrid. The London-born artist presents his distinctive sound world, which blends jazz, soul and hip hop with cinematic atmospheres and a pronounced melancholic sensibility.

Alfa Sekitoleko, known artistically as Alfa Mist, has built a musical career characterised by experimentation and the search for new sonic languages. Influenced by figures as diverse as Miles Davis, Hans Zimmer, J Dilla and Madlib, he began his career working with samples before developing a personal style that combines the cadences of soul, contemporary jazz and instrumental hip hop.

Over his seven studio albums, the musician has established a recognisable artistic identity, marked by introspective melodies, improvisation and a distinctive urban melancholy.

His most recent work, Roulette (2025), is a concept album set in a dystopian future featuring collaborations with Tawiah, Homeboy Sandman and Kaya Thomas-Dyke. A project that broadens his musical exploration and reaffirms his avant-garde vision of today's jazz. These collaborations are joined by others from throughout his career with artists such as Loyle Carner, Tom Misch and Jordan Rakei.
