SUMMARY:N'famady Kouyate with live band
DESCRIPTION:N’famady Kouyaté is a young energetic master musician from Guinea (Conakry)\, who relocated to Cardiff (Wales) in 2019. A talented multi-instrumentalist who wowed audiences across the UK and Ireland during autumn/winter 2019/20 with his modern interpretations of traditional West African Mandingue songs and rhythms supporting Gruff Rhys on the Pang! album tour. N’famady’s primary instrument is the balafon – the traditional wooden xylophone\, sacred to West African culture and his family heritage of the griot/djeli. In Guinea he founded ‘Les Héritiers du Mandingue’ a tradi-modern group that toured extensively in West Africa. \n\n\n\nIn the UK N’famady has played both as a solo artist and with a full band line up – where his arrangements are a fusion of Mandingue African with western jazz\, pop\, indie\, and funk influences provided by an ever-evolving collective of musicians. Instrumentation includes balafon\, keyboards\, drumkit\, djembe\, guitar\, bass\, kora\, doundoun\, congas\, saxophone\, trumpet\, & callabash. N’famady’s performances create amazing atmospheres and vibrations wherever he goes\, and audiences are charmed by his infectious enthusiasm and joy. \n\n\n\nN’famady released his first EP in July 2021\, recorded in the legendary Rockfield Studios\, with a full band line up\, including guest appearances from Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals)\, Lisa Jên Brown (9Bach)\, and Kliph Scurlock (The Flaming Lips). The EP features mash-ups of traditional Guinean songs with new Welsh lyrics\, modern & traditional instrumentation\, played by a ten-piece band. N’famady has a steadily growing fanbase both in the UK and West Africa. \n\n\n\nSupport and after band music provided by local world music DJ expert Naomi Carole \n\n\n\nPre concert supper available from 6pm booking essential \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS HERE USING THIS LINK BELOW https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/upfrontartslimited/t-eajkznr
