Where hip-hop grooves meet the freedom of jazz and the depth of soul
The Estonian Embassy in the UK presents Flow Rea, a genre-bending trio bringing together vibrant rhythms, expressive improvisation and emotionally rich compositions. Presented as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival 2026, this special performance showcases one of Estonia’s most exciting emerging groups.
Drawing inspiration from Alfa Mist, Yussef Dayes and the Moses Yoofee Trio, Flow Rea creates a distinctive contemporary sound that moves fluidly between jazz, hip-hop and soul.
At the heart of the band is Estonian pianist and composer Mathei Florea, whose writing provides the foundation for a deeply collaborative approach. Each piece develops through musical dialogue and shared improvisation, allowing the trio to shape the music collectively and ensuring every performance feels spontaneous, organic and alive.
Flow Rea introduced their energetic sound with the debut single Pulse in 2023. Expect intricate grooves, captivating interplay and adventurous contemporary jazz from one of Estonia’s exciting emerging groups.
