Arp Frique & The Perpetual Singers at Mallorca Live Festival - Calviá

Arp Frique & The Perpetual Singers arrive on the Mallorca Live Festival stage with a repertoire that blends gospel-inflected funk and modern R&B. The concert features material from the LP The Gospel Of Jesamy (2025) and the EP The Alpha & the Omega, placing the vocal message at the center of the live performance.

The show develops a clear fusion between funk inherited from P-funk and the choral pulse of gospel, with touches of electronics and R&B that shape the pieces without diluting their vocal component.

Leading the project, Niels Nieubor acts as the principal composer and multi-instrumentalist, while voices like Rocq-E Harrell’s contribute a tone marked by the soul tradition; collaborators credited on the record such as Dennis Bovell and Muriel Blijd also take part, reinforcing the mix of Caribbean and British roots the project asserts.

Onstage, one can reasonably expect arrangements where the choirs and vocal lines define the structure of the songs, and instrumental passages that serve as bridges between groove and contained electronic developments.

For the audience in Calvià and visitors to the Mallorca Live Festival, the concert’s value lies in hearing a repertoire conceived as an affective reclamation — “we all need love” appears as the record’s slogan — performed collectively, with emphasis on voices and stage presence rather than on individual technical displays.

To compare this gig with other dates and styles, it is worth taking a look at concerts in Mallorca.
