*ARNALDO ANTUNES/TOUMANI DIABATÉ/EDGARD SCANDURRA
A CURVA DA CINTURA
1 SET
Arnaldo Antunes zang, Toumani Diabaté kora, Edgard Scandurra gitaar
Toumani Diabaté, ‘a genius of African music’ (The Guardian), meets his Brazilian kindred spirits, singer/poet Arnaldo Antunes and guitarist Edgard Scandurra. Their calm, intense music moves between song and poetry, between tradition and exciting improvisation. Diabaté uses an ancient string instrument, the kora, to connect different cultures. The musician from Mali has collaborated with many others including Björk and Roswell Rudd. Antunes and Scandurra are Brazilian rock legends. ‘Wonderful music somewhere between Beatles-pop, Brazilian blues and Malian griot music’ (de Volkskrant).
