DUDU KOUATE + NOMAD

Dudú Kouate & Nomad + Yijia Tu

Internationally acclaimed Senegalese percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Dudù Kouate (Abel Selaocoe, Moor Mother, Art Ensemble of Chicago) joins forces with award-winning Manchester ensemble, NOMAD (Iona Kaye, Elena Orsi, Ailsa Burns, and Hoda Jahanpour). After first collaborating in France last September, the five musicians present their first UK performance, showcasing original music fresh from the recording studio. Their sound merges Celtic folk, jazz, and African influences - drawing from Dudù’s vast collection of over 200 instruments - with classical strings and voice. The result is a vibrant and dynamic celebration of culture, collaboration, and improvisation.

Inspired by ideas that cross disparate cultures and histories, Yijia’s innovative creations weave together the threads of traditional and modern worlds. Her music flows through time and space to take her audiences on a multi-dimensional experience that connects the past, present, and future.
