Mauricio Velasierra Quintet ft. Amira Kheir

Friday 21 September 2012 @ 5.30pm
South Bank, London SE1 9PX 
FREE EVENT

 

London-based Colombian musician Mauricio Velasierra is a player of traditional Andean flutes - kena, mohoseños and sikus. He has reinvented his main instrument the 'kena' as modern improvising vehicle, allowing the development of cutting-edge chromatic repertoire, a truly original musical language.
With diverse influences ranging from African music to jazz, and science to poetry, his storytelling compositions are a rich mixture of largely unexplored Andean rhythms combined with contemporary melodies and harmonies.
With Velasierra's direction and feverishly passionate improvisations, his quintet conjures up a world of truly evocative sounds and deeply moving images.
Also featuring special guest, Sudanese-Italian vocalist Amira Kheir.
