Event information
Kate Griffin and Matchume Zango (Mozambique multi-instrumentalist) are forging a new cross-cultural collaboration celebrating the universal power of traditional music. They both bring echoes of their respective traditions to a vibrant new sound full of world rhythms, contemporary song-writing and joy.
“In Tchopo, both artists honour their traditions while creatively weaving their sounds together, resulting in a rich blend of world rhythms, contemporary songwriting and playful joy”
Songlines
★★★★
Their touring show features Matchume’s arsenal of percussion including timbila, xitende, mbira, and congas, Kate’s banjo, and a supporting trio of Evan Carson (Sam Kelly & The Lost Boys, The Drystones) on drums, Ben Evans on bass, and Ford Collier (Mishra, The Drystones) on low whistle and guitar. The tight grooves and Matchume's vibrant performances make it virtually impossible to not dance and sing along with the band, and if in doubt Matchume will soon show everyone the moves.
