Talkin' the Drum presents:

The Little Big Bang - Mullumbimby

Celebrating the Power of Africa!

Mullumbimby Civic Centre

55 Dalley St, Mullumbimby

Saturday July 6th

Doors open 7 pm

Featuring:

Mohamed Bangoura aka Bangoura Ke

The power of this African musician is extraordinary!! BK, considered the most outstanding proponent of the djembe in Australia, is an absolute machine, a total unit! His hands move at the speed of light, creating a visual blur, frequently breaking the sound barrier!!

In Guinea, West Africa, Bangoura Ke is known as the "Lion of Matam, with hands of fire!" Born into a Griot family it is both his privilege and responsibility to cultivate a healthy community through the passing down of the history and cultural protocols of his ancestry. In addition to his virtuosic djembe playing BK is one of the loveliest humans on the planet; honourable, so sweet, so generous, so caring and kind.

Alone he can already light up a dance floor but he will be joined by:

Spankinhide

The very existence of Spankinhide is to fuel the fire of dance. Rich rhythms, driving doundoun melodies, crack and boom to fill the room! A new ancient medicine, dance your way to great health!

DJ Salve Jorge

Local legend, Jorge Patrocinio, our co-producing, artwork creating, in-houes dj is Salve Jorge. Effortlessly weaving diverse offerings of the night into a cohesive world music experience. Focussing his music selection this night on Africa he will no doubt also bring some of his favourite Brazilian tunes into the room for our listening and dancing pleasure.

Zormiwasa

simply…..EPIC!!

Imagine 30 people playing African drums in unison....imagine a wall of groove, so thick it literally moves your body.....With super dynamic arrangements led by Elliott Orr this is engaging from the first beat.

This is the very essence of community! Many beautiful souls bringing their love of rhythm and dance into a collective moment of connection and expression.

For this Little Big Bang we will perform 2 rhythms Sankaran and Zebola. Sankaran comes from Guinea West Africa and was taught to Elliott by Bangoura Ke in 2019. BK will join Elliott in leading Zormiwasa through this incredible rhythmic journey.

Come early to witness this true magic!
