Atongo Zimba Trio In Concert
The trio features Ghanaian performer Atongo Zimba, who plays the molo, a two-stringed calebash banjo and sings in his native Fra Fra, Hausa, Ga, English and Twi.
With his raw and bluesy voice, Atongo and the band perform a swinging fusion of traditional Ghanaian music, Afrobeat, jazz and funk.
Atongo has played with the likes of Osibisa, The Pan African Orchestra and the legendary Fela Kuti. He had a major hit in Ghana with No Beer in Heaven and his album Barefoot in the Sand, was nominated "African CD of the Year" in 2007.
Now based in the UK, Atongo performs with other leading world musicians to deliver a fabulous evening of African roots music.
