SHABAKA

Thursday 31 October 2024, time 21:00

Shabaka's work transcends conventional notions of genre and draws from a vast pallet of cultural influences. Whilst he's undeniably a pioneering voice in the renaissance of British Jazz, his remit is much broader: he has also performed classical concertos with world-leading orchestras; led several hugely influential bands (Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming, Shabaka and The Ancestors) and has recently released a critically lauded solo album; Afrikan Culture, a work of exceptional beauty and urgency, focussed around the eastern Asian instrument, the Shakuhachi, of which Shabaka is a major exponent.

"In this unique concert Shabaka will perform with a quintet of top musicians, Hinako Omori on keyboards, Miriam Adefris and Alina Bzhezhinska on harps and Elliot Galvin on piano."
