Back by popular demand and playing songs from their new album, Awaken!
Composed of musicians from across continents and cultures, Zikina creates new and beautiful music that will get you dancing, clapping, and connecting with the people around you.
The group is led by Uganda native Gideon Ampeire, who will draw you in with a variety of traditional East African instruments, including enanga (zither), adungu (harp), and kalimba (thumb piano) - all of which he builds himself.
Joining Ampeire is Northampton’s Mike Cardozo on guitar, Roston Kirk on bass and Kurt Eisele-Dyrli on drums. Together, the four weave a sonic landscape that flows seamlessly from intense grooves to joyous dance beats with dreamy textures. Gideon's vocals cut powerfully through the fabric or float lightly above. It all adds up to something completely unique, yet immediately accessible.
