Angata

Sunday 21st September, 11:00am - Windsor Royal Station

Angata’s interests in West African music brought them together three years ago. The individual members come from a diverse educational background, ranging from studying music and West African traditions to live theatre and fine art. The foundation of Angata's set is the Malinke music found today in Mali and Guinea.They have learnt these traditional rhythms from well-known master percussionists such as Francois Dembele, Lamine Lopez Sumah, Mamady Keita and Sega Sidibe. With respect to the Malinke tradition, Angata fuses new arrangements and melodic compositions to these old rhythms.

The group has performed at Notting Hill Carnival,Womad Festival and The Edinburgh Festival.

Presented in association with Live Music Now! This performance has been made possible by a grant from The Prince Philip Trust Fund for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
