Nakibembe Embaire Group live mixed by Mad Professor
24 HOUR DUB
Performing on the embaire, a giant Ugandan wooden xylophone played by six musicians at the same time, Nakibembe Embaire Group create hypnotic and joyful music. The instrument weaves polyrhythmic melodic phrases and percussion into endlessly flowing, ecstatic grooves. Working synergetically around the embaire, each musician's abstract part weaves in a dense tangle of sound, from which distinct melodies, basslines and rhythms emerge. Their performance during 24 HOUR DUB will be mixed live by dub legend Mad Professor. The trance-inducing polyrhythms will blend with experimental dub techniques, to create a hypnotic, otherworldly soundscape.
This artist is part of 24 HOUR DUB: a 24-hour session of continuous dub sounds that brings together pioneers, poets, engineers, sound system architects, and a new generation of bass explorers. More info about the program can be found via leguesswho.com/24-hour-dub.
