| Event Info/Notes: | Thursday, February 25th 2010 Max Wild & Chiwoniso $15 adv & at the door 7pm-9:30pm  Max Wild & Chiwoniso Max Wild and Chiwoniso unite to create a soundscape that transcends cultural divides with their unique fusion of jazz, funk, and ancient Africa melodies. Driven by the mesmerizing interlocking textures of the mbira and saxophone, the group is backed by the deep groove of an international all-star lineup from the United States and Zimbabwe. Chiwoniso Maraire’s voice resounds with defiant strength and profound tenderness finding its counterpart in Wild’s soulful sax lines. With vocals that recall the fire of Angelique Kidjo and the rebellion of Thomas Mapfumo, coupled with saxophone melodies suggestive of the soul of Kenny Garrett and inspiration of Branford Marsalis, this duo embodies one of the most exciting cross-cultural collaborations in music today. This show will preview new music from Max Wild’s upcoming ObliqSound release TAMBA and music from Chiwoniso's Cumbancha release REBEL WOMAN. 7pm doors 8pm performance starts 9:30pm curfew Max Wild: sax Chiwoniso: vocals/mbira Jesse Lewis: guitar Soren Moller: keys Aidan Crroll: bass John Davis: drums http://www.maxwild.net http://www.chiwoniso.com http://www.cumbancha.com http://www.obliqsound.com |
