About the band: Inspired by funk, jazz, soul, hip-hop, and pop, Malah Palinka are an 8-piece ensemble from Sheffield, UK. Citing references including Vulfpeck, Hiatus Kaiyote, and Snarky Puppy, the band combine infectious funk grooves, swanky harmonies, and dreamlike lyrics delivered in 3-part harmony. Malah Palinka’s energetic live performances are designed to get people moving and grooving along to their brassy hooks and tight rhythm section. Comprising mostly of University of Sheffield music grads, Malah Palinka formed in late 2019 as part of the growing future jazz / neo soul scene in the north. Their debut EP How to Wake Up was released in 2021 following a highly successful kickstarter campaign, and since then they’ve been selling out headline shows, playing festivals including the BBC stage at Tramlines, and supporting the likes of Renegade Brass Band and Heritage.
