FOLK fusion world music quintet Kabantu appear at Davenham Theatre on Thursday, October 27 at 8pm.

The group is part of the jazz@davenham programme, and was recommended by a member of the regular audience.

The group offers a blend of rhythms and melodies influenced by folk, world and jazz, in a high-energy performance which will have the audience on their feet.

Kabantu, which means ‘of the people’, are a five-piece hailing from Manchester who unravel new marriages of music from around the globe.

Vocal harmonies from South Africa coalesce with everything from Celtic reels and Brazilian samba to Balkan folk music and beyond.

Highlights include performing at the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, live sessions for BBC Free Thinking Festival, BBC Radio 3 In Tune, World on 3 and prestigious festivals and venues across the UK, including The Bridgewater Hall, The Sage Gateshead, Celtic Connections, Musicport and Greenbelt.
