About Olicía
Olicía is the band project of the two multi-instrumentalists Fama M'Boup and Anna-Lucia Rupp. They currently live in Berlin and Leipzig. The music of Olicía moves in the field of tension between the human voice, acoustic instruments, free improvisation and the use of modern electronic possibilities. At some point, they gave it the genre name “electronic handmade loopjazz”. Fragmented, electro soul, playful, multilingual global pop, fragile folk moments and an approach to improvisation borrowed from jazz within a fixed structure. They unite all these disparate elements in astonishingly concise, direct and emotional pop songs. Everything that can be heard on stage is created in the moment, nothing is pre-produced. They were nominated for the German Jazz Award with their debut double album “Liquid Lines” (2021). In 2022, they each released a (solo) album: the indie a cappella album “in June” (book+CD) by Fama M'Boup and the album “Figures Afloat” (LP/CD) by the chamber pop band Nouk led by Anna-Lucia Rupp. They release their music on their own label o-cetera (Membran/TheOrchard). In addition, both were part of the live band for Sophie Hunger's last album “Halluzinationen” and developed and performed the music for the multimedia theater performance “reality warping” for Jasmine Ellis Projects in 2023. Fama M'Boup is part of Kat Frankie's B O D I E S collective. She has also just released “Ich und Du”, a collaboration with Dota Kehr as part of her Mascha Kaléko settings. The second Olicía album “Out of the Blue” will be released in November 2024.
