Virtuoso Congolese composer Niwel Tsumbu’s extraordinary guitar playing, imaginative soaring melodies and dedication to excellence have won him major kudos for his energising and inventive music in the past year. This cross-cultural ensemble is a new project for Tsumbu and features gifted musicians and voices from South and Middle America, Asia, Africa, Europe and Ireland. His symphony of tribal rhythms with heavyweight improvisation derives from the worlds of Latin, reggae, classical and jazz. An elevating and explosive evening of pulsing, funked-up good vibrations.
