AFRICAN NIGHT WITH JACKSON WAHENGO TRIO
Every Third tuesday - Every Month
This special Tuesday is in the hands of Jackson Wahengo Trio
Jackson Wahengo – Namibia’s most celebrated guitarist – plays music heavily rooted in the African tradition, blended with contemporary urban sounds and strong influences of jazz, rumba, zouk and reggae – Afropop/folk in a new shape and form – a musical fusion that has proven attractive to the audiences.
Jackson Wahengo placed Namibia on the world music map through his debut album “Akutu Hewa“. His music has its very own sense of rhythm expressed in strong harmonies and skilful guitar riffs, typical for southern
Africa and yet blended with ultra-contemporary sounds and flavoured by
traditional rhythms and song. It’s a horde of influences performed in compositions full of layers and detail that in a groovy way come together as one, reflecting experience and depth. The result is an infectious and groovy mix of contemporary Afropop and Folk that is yet genuinely universal.
Afro-pop and shambo artist.

English description | Den tredje tirsdag hver måned er African Night - vær beredt! Hele ideen udsprang af en stor kærlighed til den afrikanske musik som bla. Alain Apaloo, Ayi Solomon, Dawda Yobarteh, Moussa Diallo og Basiro Suso og mange andre er glade for. Sammen med et stærkt hold besluttede vi at lave en fast tirsdags scene til den genre. Bandbesætningen har skiftet en del i løbet af årene og der kommer der muligvis også ændringer undervejs her i 2024, men en ting er sikkert, det er funky, velspillet og dansevenlig musik - og så kommer der af og til en gæst. |
