Enjoy an unmissable early evening of jazz with Amani Creatives. The group has played at venues and festivals, including London’s Southbank Centre, RNCM, Band On The Wall, Manchester Jazz Festival, WOMEX, Africa Oyé, and Manchester International Festival.
It’s a rare opportunity to hear African-infused jazz in the North West of England.
The gig features Tebu Quintet: Tebu (piano/handpan), Helena Summer Field (sax), Eros Spataro (bass), Ephraim Fade (drums) and Hugh Peters (guitar) and the AfrikaJazz Trio: Tshepe Tshepela (piano), Blanchard Kabasele (bass) and Ian Kenga (drums).
The groups will play new music inspired by Africa composed by Tshepe Tshepela, an internationally renowned Congolese jazz pianist and keyboard player, and Tebu, an acclaimed Cameroonian multi-instrumentalist.
Enjoy the Congolese styles of Rumba and Soukous, Bikusi from Cameroon, Intore from Rwanda/Burundi, Taarab from Zanzibar, and the Palm Wine sounds of Sierra Leone.
The eclectic mix of African sounds and Afro Fusion showcases the rich diversity of music created by African diaspora musicians based in the UK and Europe.
The gig follows Amani collective members appearing in acclaimed performances at London’s Southbank Centre and MIF 2023’s Festival Square.
Amani Creatives gig will be filmed for broadcast at the National Museum of DR Congo in Kinshasa on Saturday 29 July (2-4pm GMT), and worldwide audiences via YouTube.
