SUMMARY:GENA (Liv.e And Karriem Riggins)
LOCATION:Neck of the Woods
DESCRIPTION:Gena\, one of the most dynamic and brilliant collaborative proj
 ects on the planet\, has just announced an Auckland show for later this ye
 ar\, playing Neck of the Woods on Thursday 1 October. The energetic duo th
 at binds drummer and producer Karriem Riggins and singer-songwriter\, rapp
 er\, and producer Liv.e\, Gena recently dropped their debut album The Plea
 sure Is Yours\, praised by Pitchfork for its cosmic experimentalism and am
 orphous funk. Their collaborative debut as GENA (short for “God Energy\,
  Naturally Amazing\,” and loosely inspired by Gina from Martin)\, The Pl
 easure Is Yours (out 2/27/2026 via Lex Records)\, feels like a playful\, s
 oulful conversation between two kindred improvisers: Liv.e’s smoky\, unp
 olished vocals glide through Riggins’ warm\, percussive universe. Rooted
  in jazz\, soul\, and hip-hop as living language\, the Dallas-born Liv.e b
 rings a raw\, experimental approach to R&B\, while Detroit native Riggins
 —known for his work with Common\, Erykah Badu\, The Roots\, Madlib\, and
  a close kinship with the late J Dilla—extends his lifelong dialogue bet
 ween jazz improvisation and beat science. Together they create a world tha
 t’s analog and ethereal\, percussive and poetic\, bridging eras without 
 ever settling in one\; The Pleasure Is Yours is the sound of Liv.e and Rig
 gins bringing each other’s music to life and finding a new language toge
 ther—one rooted in rhythm\, vulnerability\, and exuberance.\n\nBoletos:
