BOI AKIH
PRESENTATION CD “CIRCLES IN A SQUARE SOCIETY”
Monica Akihary voice, Niels Brouwer guitar, Wolter Wierbos trombone, Kim Weemhoff drums/percussion
Legendary ‘songs of freedom’ by such artists as Jimi Hendrix, David Crosby, Bob Marley, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young are sources of inspiration for Boi Akih’s new program. The warm, colorful voice of Monica Akihary and the inventive guitar playing of Niels Brouwer form the basis of this group, which derives its sound from jazz, flamenco, Moluccan folk and imaginative improvisations. ‘Fabulous singing and masterful guitar playing coming from its own universe’ (de Volkskrant).
