Presented as part of Dublin City Council’s Live Local Performance Scheme supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport & Media.
Dynamic rhythms enliven the dark winter days this December at the Sugar Club with a three-part live series of Afro-beat Evenings from Improvised Music Company, Choice Cuts, and Dublin City Council.
Closing out 2021 with a bang, Manden Express’s explosive performance fuses traditional and contemporary styles of West African music from the Mande Empire of what is now known as Mali, alongside infectious Afrobeat rhythms. The supergroup blends Kamele n’goni harp, Kora, djembe, and drums with Electric bass and guitar to produce stomping grooves and hypnotic time patterns.
Also rocking the stage are Limerick’s Elikya (“Hope” in Lingala), with their hybrid blend of Rumba, Soukous and seben – entrancing lead guitar melodies atop a pulsating bed of kick drums and snares – you won’t be able to stay in your seat.
