Adelle Nqeto

Adelle Nqeto’s music stems from the gaze of an introverted observer with a passion for melody and stories. Rooted in South African folk and exploring Jazz, Indie and Pop sensibilities, the Berlin-based musician’s work expresses the beauty and complexity in our human reality. Quite fittingly, her music style has been labelled as »Alternative African Folk«. Her first EP ›Lights‹ was released in 2017. In 2019, she released her follow-up EP ›Home‹.

»Adelle Nqeto possesses the sort of quiet confidence, delicate and yet powerful in its delivery… It’s neo-African folk at its loveliest.«
– Texx and the City

Adelle Nqeto receives a scholarship of 7,500 euros in 2024 to finalise her debut album and to produce a release show.
