The multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and performer Kinobe returns to the NightCat with his band on Saturday, February 11.Together with his band, The African Sensation, Kinobe is in the vanguard of Ugandan performers representing the inspired synthesis of African roots and global fusion. Driving polyrhythms underlay transcendent melodies on traditional African instruments – koras, kalimbas, adungus, endongos, balaphon, and percussion–to show, once again, that music is the most beautiful, universal language.
Kinobe has been performing internationally since the age of ten, captivating audiences with virtuoso performances of Ugandan roots music as well as original compositions, reflecting a wealth of African and world influences. As an instrument-maker and teacher of traditional African instruments, Kinobe understands musical creation inside and out, leading his listeners into the soul of African music with traditional instruments, songs, and stories from his homeland.
