NYASH! Final show of 2022! An evening of Afrobeat, Ska and Jazz [FREE ENTRY!]
Event description
Our FINAL SHOW of the year and FINAL SHOW with the band name "NYASH"! Free entry!
Round out the silly season and help us celebrate our new name "THIS WAY ORKESTRA" -Â 8pm @ Canberra Irish ClubÂ
Canberra's very own enclave of Afrobeat + Ska + Reggae sounds - this 9-piece orchestra combines the mighty Afro-Funk of Nigeria's Fela Kuti with a tight brass section and heavy jazz + ska grooves! From West Belconnen to West Africa and beyond, this musical collective will keep your nyash shaking!Â
Originally formed in 2012 by Nicholas Combe and Simon Milman - two stalwarts of the local jazz and reggae scene in Canberra - the band recorded their debut EP as "NYASH" the same year and played around the ACT. 7 years later the band has reformed with original members and some great new additions, including a frontman Jim Sharock on vocals and percussion - flexing new musical influences beyond ska and Afrobeat to include reggae, ethio-jazz, and dub.
