About
What to expect
The Rebirth of Hope show mixes poetry, music and dance, with jazz, West-African sounds and spoken word.
ESINAM recorded the album during student protests and historic election victories; it was first shaped in 2024 at Concertgebouw Brugge, shortly before she became a mother, and is reborn in 2026.
It is a call to softness, care and transformation, with birth as a metaphor for change, drawing on her Ghanaian roots, her own poetry and collective rituals.
