Jamie Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Omar Sosa-Dhafer Youssef Trio featuring Marque GilmoreTuesday 17th October12 (8 concessions and Regulars)Doors open: 8.30pm Show starts: 9.30pmOmar Sosa is a world music phenomenon, a piano sorcerer of breathtaking skill, dynamism and imagination. Originally a percussionist, he attended Cubas prestigious Escuela Nacional de Musica where he discovered his aptitude for piano and immersed himself in European classical studies as well as Afro-Cuban musical history. In 1995 he moved to San Francisco, where he launched his recording career, releasing a series of albums encompassing jazz ballads, rap, funk and African folklore. Tunisian Dhafer Youssef trained in Sufi singing in the traditional Koran school as a youngster and risked the wrath of family and friends when he fell in love with the oud, the Arabian lute. Revered for his achingly beautiful voice and masterful playing, he has worked with trumpeters Markus Stockhausen and Paolo Fresu, Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset and French double bass virtuoso Renaud Garcia-Fons and made a stunning contribution to Sosas brilliant Mulatos album. Their tour with percussion alchemist Marque Gilmore aka the inna-most founder of New Yorks Black Rock Coalition and pioneer of live drumnbass, and who has played with everyone from A Guy Called Gerald to Joe Zawinul, is certain to be one of the musical events of 2006. www.omarsosa.netwww.dhafferyoussef.comwww.drumfm.comwww.tuneup.org.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylemontree Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Going by the tech spec, this is going to be a HEAVY show. Lots of sub bass apparently, which sounds very intriguing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 oohI'm getting fragmented clips of tablas in a dancey Jazzish tripped out vibe - like ye get at Tunnels late at night sometimes, I wish the music had ran smoothly I love Indian percussion.
