to show that despite all the forces in the world that emphasize our differences and try to diminish and pull us apart, we can come together to make something beautiful and new. It doesn’t take long for this music to get you dancing, clapping along, connecting with the people around you, and savoring the beauty of the present moment. Uganda native Gideon Ampeire draws you in with a variety of traditional East African instruments, including enanga (zither), adungu (harp), and kalimba (thumb piano) - all of which he builds himself. Those beautiful sounds meet the surrounding guitar, bass, and drums in way that somehow feels both completely familiar, and like nothing you’ve heard before. Mike Cardozo (guitar, percussion) improvises intricate melodic conversations with Gideon and dances through the beat with punchy rhythmic lines. Roston Kirk (bass) and Kurt Eisele-Dyrli (drums) weave a sonic landscape that flows seamlessly from intense grooves to joyous dance beats to dreamy textures. Gideon's vocals cut powerfully through the fabric or float lightly above. It all adds up to something truly unique, yet immediately accessible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57f2d56d3e00befa2e8e02b7/58e42cee-5378-4776-bcd1-68cb5a91df1f/IMG_4312.jpg About http://zikinamusic.com/videos daily 0.75 2023-05-20 http://zikinamusic.com/store daily 0.75 2016-11-25 http://zikinamusic.com/store/support-our-albumperformance-with-10-in-the-tip-jar monthly 0.5 2022-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57f2d56d3e00befa2e8e02b7/1662911492354-QCF7T6ZU1Q6ZMHN1ZXKM/Zikina_Awaken_Cover.png Store - Support our album/performance with $10 in the "tip jar" http://zikinamusic.com/store/support-our-albumperformance-with-5-in-the-tip-jar monthly 0.5 2022-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57f2d56d3e00befa2e8e02b7/1662911260883-XZM54DSLTTOPU6FJQ6II/Zikina_Awaken_Cover.png Store - Support our album/performance with $5 in the "tip jar" http://zikinamusic.com/store/support-our-albumperformance-with-5-in-the-tip-jar-f5yfy monthly 0.5 2022-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57f2d56d3e00befa2e8e02b7/1662911260883-XZM54DSLTTOPU6FJQ6II/Zikina_Awaken_Cover.png Store - Support our album/performance with $20 in the "tip jar"
