Falle Nioke
-----------
Falle Nioke is a singer and percussionist from Guinea, now based in Margate, UK. He sings in English, French, Susu, Fulani, Malinke and his mother tongue, Coniagui. He plays a range of cultural African instruments to accompany his voice (Gongoma, Bolon, Cassi).
Since arriving in the UK two years ago he has been working with a number of producers, including Johan Hugo, Congo Natty, Sir Was and Ghost Culture. He recently released his collaborative EP with London-based ethereal dance producer Ghost Culture. The lead track from Youkounkoun (which is named after Nioke’s village, where the Coniagui live) is a complimentary combination of Nioke’s dynamic vocal melodies and Ghost Culture’s masterfully smooth electronics. Setting buoyant synth bass stabs against a ticking drum machine, ‘Barké”s groove is addictive and irresistible.
Kutamba
---------
Fresh out of Bristol, Kutamba are bringing their own take on the sound of Zimbabwe's golden era. Intricate rhythms and bouncy melodies sung in Shona by Manu Maunganidze.
From the fiery chimurenga beat of Thomas Mapfumo to the jit jive of the Bhundu Boys, the set showcases a rich cultural range of Zimbabwean music, with a few other worldly influences thrown in.
