Duniya!!

  • Woodhouse Blending & Brewing 119 Madrone Street Santa Cruz, CA, 95060 United States (map)

Do not miss this!!! “Duniya” is an amazing new band, comprised of musicians from Mali, West Africa and California, which fuses together ancient and modern sounds and instruments. Guaranteed to move your body and soul. Lead Singer Mariam Diakate, percussionists Moussa Camara and Seydou Dante all hail from Bamako, Mali and all have a deeply rooted mastery of traditional Malian music and dance. Greg Fletcher, formerly of Soul Union, writes and arranges the music and plays a 12 stringed harp/lute from Mali called the Kamelengoni. Kit Bailey on drums and Rob Holland on Bass also bring a combined 60 years of experience in African music. Our music is highly rhythmic and extremely danceable, interspersed by moments of slower, deep grooves. Come and experience Duniya with us!!
