Celebrating Black History Month, this is a rare opportunity to see this amazing and exotic ensemble from Sudan.  Musicians, singers and dancers guarantee a memorable evening of trance-inducing sacred and secular dance music which has evolved from the former slave communities of Sudan and Ethiopia

 

This flamboyant and mesmerising group of musicians takes its name from the now extremely rare, vintage instrument, the rango, a type of marimba originating in Egypt during the 1820s following Mohammed Alis conquest of Sudan.   This unique acoustic dance music has its roots in mystic healing ceremonies and combines traditional Arabic melodies and styles with a complex belief system of Sudanese shamanic practices.
