Organic, raw rhythmic music to move your bones and soul in equal measure, the Owiny Sigoma Band have produced music in both Kenya and London but have a musical passion that goes even deeper than their roots, influences and locations. Renowned for offering the kind of live performances to treasure forever, this gig promises much in the way of musical liberation with a new album that has been triumphed as an organically formed explosion of their long-simmering talent and fire. A blend of intensely minimal Nairobi Luo folk with subtle strands of techno and synth-pop grooves, their latest sound is charged with both boundary and expectation-surpassing joy alongside the spontaneous individuality that has driven their success so far. Don’t miss this opportunity to see them live.
