Afrodisiac
presented by Sound Affairs
Thursday 14th October 7.30pm
Afrodisiac explores ritual and magic in African and South American cultures through an exhilarating mix of music and visual art.
Devised by composer Charlie Barber, Afrodisiac brings together two highly respected musicians of traditional African instruments, Seckou Keita, an inspired and charismatic performer of the kora (the West African harp-lute) and Chartwell Dutiro, a maestro of the mbira, (the Zimbabwean ‘thumb piano’), and an ensemble of seven classical musicians.
From African moon love spells and Haitian voodoo to Brazilian dances and Ghanaian tribal cult music, Afrodisiac celebrates a mysterious brew of love and the supernatural combined with the magical ‘Imaginative Realism’ paintings of Cuban artist Raul Speek.
Tickets: £9 - £10
