A gig on Monday 25th May. The event starts at 20:00.
Bath International Music Festival
7.30-10pm
The great South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela has come to be known as a living legend in the decades since he first picked up a trumpet, and luckily for us he shows no sign of putting it down yet. Universally considered one of the world's all-time greatest horn players, he remains, in the words of The Independent: 'A musician of phenomenal grace and power still blessed with a voice that can strip the leaves from the trees'
Helele
Inspired by the rhythms of the Bantu Forest of West Africa, Alphonse Daudet Touna formed Helele with a host of talented musicians from Bristol. Originally from Cameroon, Alphonse plays Balafon (marimba), leading the band with his haunting vocals in his tribal language, Bassa.
