A rich chemistry of cultural influences is at work when the Adriano Adewale Group gets together on stage. Rooted in the musical traditions of Nigeria, Angola and Brazil and infused with contemporary European classical and jazz styles, percussionist and composer Adriano Adewale's music is a global fusion of musical influences. This outstanding international ensemble features Brazilian Adriano percussion, vocals, Australian Nathan Riki Thomson double bass, flutes, kalimba, Kadialy Kouyate from Senegal kora, vocals and fellow Brazilian Marcelo Andrade sax, flutes rabeca. Together they create a colourful cocktail of infectiously funky rhythms and intimate soulful ballads.

'Adriano Adewale boasts an imposing collection of firepower yet deploys it with rare restraint' The Times
