Kinobe and Soul Beat Africa "Kuba"
Their first American tour of Kinobe and Soul Beat Africa, beginning in March 2009! INCLUDES PORTLAND, MAINE! During this first east coast tour, Kinobe will share the traditional sounds of Uganda and the African continent, performing exclusively on a wide variety of beautiful acoustic instruments.
TOUR SCHEDULE
Soul Beat Africa is the new voice of Ugandan music, the inspired synthesis of African roots and world music, of traditional and modern instrumentation. These musicians represent the new vanguard of Ugandan performers, gifted instrumentalists steeped in the music of their homeland, but with ears opened to the sounds of the world at large. Driving poly-rhythms underlay transcendent melodies. Traditional African instruments – koras, kalimbas, adungus, endongos, ngonis, drums – blend with guitars and keyboards, drawing on influences from around the globe. This is a new groove for a new world.
