Friday, 8 Dec
Hackney Church
SIGN UP FOR THE WAITING LIST HERE.
Shabaka’s work transcends conventional notions of genre and vast cultural influences. Whilst he’s undeniably a pioneering voice in the renaissance of British Jazz, his remit is much broader: he has also performed classical concertos with world-leading orchestras; led several hugely influential bands (Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming, Shabaka and The Ancestors) and has recently released a critically lauded solo album; Afrikan Culture, a work of exceptional beauty and urgency, focussed around the eastern Asian instrument, the Shakuhachi, of which Shabaka is a major exponent.
This will be Shabaka’s final performance on the saxophone before he takes a hiatus from the instrument.
