Jebet listening to a conversation in nature
Jebet in the evening
Jebet in the background, with nature in the foreground
Jebet telling a story to someone under a tree, beside the ocean

A taste of the poetry

A poem to start with. The collection is coming soon.

Bieu

Ken ta bieu? Nan ta bisa e caminda Cu ta keda band’i e rooi. Esta vil, esta vies pa compara un hende compara un bida, sobrevivencia cu mierde y stof. Pasobra cada cabey blanco ta testigo di bida. Cada plooi un aña mas gana. Otro nan ya ta putri den graf. M’a wak mi ‘kinan! Ainda mi tey, catan catan Asina ta no yamami bieu pa bo desprecio. Yamami Shon, Yamami Shi. Titulami hende anciano Coronami cu es honor mereci. Pasobra ta hopi mas cu hopi por bisa.

Live

Musical storytelling shows

JEBET is an intimate musical storytelling show where original songs, spoken stories, poetry and theatrical moments come together to tell one emotional journey on stage. Over approximately 60–75 minutes, JEBET moves between music and storytelling—sometimes tender, sometimes humorous, sometimes confronting—inviting the audience into stories of love, loss, identity, desire and becoming. The show is ideal for theatres, cultural events, intimate venues and audiences who enjoy live music with something deeper to say.

Show dates coming soon.
