Our Performers

Namlo is a Nepalese fusion band and is a unique collaboration of musicians, who have been inspired by Nepalese musician Ganga Thapa. They celebrate the homeland with poetic lyrics and melodies inspired by Himalayan foothills & mountains and together weave a cross-cultural musical soundscape with influences from West Africa all the way to South America.

This season’s Breathe Amplifies... is composer and pianist Karim Kamar. Karim is a musician of outstanding quality, with a style similar to contemporary composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. Today he performs a selection of his own original compositions - soft and romantic in nature - perfect for peace and tranquillity.

Influenced by the scenery and the surroundings of his Senegalese village, Abdoulaye began to create his own sound. Working in a building yard, he grabbed his tools and with the help of a few fishing rods and a petrol can he made his own guitar! The guitar became his favourite instrument. Abdoulaye’s music has grown from his travels, collaborations and research in Africa and Europe.
