Vrouwelijke drum and Marimba band: Afrikaanse drums voor mannen? De kleurrijke en energieke Abafazi zetten het traditionele beeld en de zaal op zijn kop. Met drums, marimba en zang nemen de tien Zuid-Afrikaanse dames het publiek mee op reis door de muziek en cultuur van Zuid-Afrika.

Een van West-Afrika's meest iconische dansbands is terug! 10 jaar na de release van hun laatste album en bijna een halve eeuw na oprichting maakt Orchestra Baobab een comeback met een tijdloze set die bol staat van klassieke, zwierende melodieën die Afro-Cubaanse ritmes en Afrikaanse tradities samenbrengen. Het nieuwe werk klinkt vertrouwd, de gerijpte sound die Orchestra Baobab legendarisch heeft gemaakt is hoorbaar, maar de toevoeging van energieke, levendige twists maakt het ensemble boeiender dan ooit.
