Get your dancing shoes on and come celebrate the vibrant spirit of Africa Day in musical style with Otto and the Mutapa Calling!
Immerse yourself in an evening of music, dance, and storytelling, as we journey through the heart of Africa's rich cultural tapestry.
Come and experience the joyous rhythms and melodies of Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Botswana brought to life by the UK's finest African marimba band, Otto and the Mutapa Calling. With their dynamic performances using soprano, tenor, and baritone marimbas, accompanied by pulsating drums, vocals, and dance, prepare to be transported to the heart of southern Africa.
Adding to the enchantment of the night is British-Congolese (DRC) artist, Liz Ikamba, who cross pollinates musical and cultural influences, seamlessly blending the rich and vibrant sounds of Congo folk music with elements of Jazz and Soul. Groove-driven riffs and sun-fuelled rhythms fuse with soulful vocals, catchy hooks and harmonies, to create a bold and timeless Afro-Soul-Folk sound. Singing in both English and Lingala, Liz weaves together a personal and ancestral story, with songs speaking largely from her experience as a dual heritage woman and artist living in the UK.
