Hailing from the rich musical traditions of Uganda, Chinobay is a musician, cultural ambassador, educator and beacon of harmony who has embarked on a journey that has taken him across the globe, spreading the vibrant rhythms and melodies of Africa while inspiring and uplifting audiences everywhere.
As a child, he embarked on a musical journey deeply rooted in the rich traditions of Buganda kingdom musicians. The rhythms emanating from the Kanyange king’s palace, just a stone’s throw from his childhood home, formed the backdrop of his early years, leaving an indelible mark on him through this immersive musical environment. He embraced the folk tunes he gleaned from these local maestros, crafting early works that paid homage to the cherished heritage.
As time unfolded, he undertook the task of revitalizing these classics, all while mastering an array of traditional instruments. Today, he stands as a seasoned songwriter, a dedicated educator, and a bridge builder between cultures. His original compositions breathe life into the diverse stories of humanity, showcasing Africa in its full spectrum of richness - transcending its portrayal merely as a backdrop for adversity.
Chinobay’s mastery of the kora, kalimba, and other pan-African instruments form a rich tapestry of global cultures, interweaving diverse voices and experiences. Come experience Chinobay’s ability to bridge continents and create harmonious connections through his artistry in the first event of our concert series.
This event will be held at Dreaming Stone Arts & Ecology Center on October 4th, 2025 @ 7:00 pm. (Doors open at 6:00 pm). Seats are limited and sliding scale. (Cosponsored by WNCW)
