"immaculate...a rousing display of fine musicianship"
★★★★
The Guardian
Celebrating the space where different cultures meet
Astonishingly unique. Unorthodox. Progressive. Original. Acoustic. Contemporary. World. Folk.
Kabantu is a collective from Manchester, each born in a different country, who unravel new marriages of music in a globalised 21st century.
Kabantu means "of the people" - stemming from the South African philosophy of Ubuntu: "I am who I am because of who we all are".
Kabantu have created large-scale works for BBC Singers, Sinfonia Cymru and the Manchester Camerata, won the £10,000 Royal Over-Seas League Competition, performed in the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, headlined the English Folk Expo and played most of the UK’s major classical arts festivals (BBC Free Thinking Festival, Deal, Lichfield, Swaledale, Kings Place) and folk festivals (Cambridge, Shrewsbury, Orkney, Shetland, Warwick) and toured internationally to the Luxembourg Philharmonie and Lucerne Festival.
