Leftfoot will be bringing the Owiny Sigoma Band to the Hare & Hounds on Tuesday 24th May in support of their latest full length offering ‘Nyanza’.
The album is the third offering from the cross-cultural, boundary surpassing Owiny Sigoma Band who band travelled to the Nyanza Province of Western Kenya – home of their two members Joseph Nyamungu and Charles Owoko – to explore the birthplace of Luo music.
The result is a string of striking tracks, the music always feeling raw and organic, the rhythms and sounds reflecting the spontaneous jams from which the record was born.
A complex, constantly evolving, musical relationship now in its fifth year, Owiny Sigoma band have produced music in both Kenya, for their self-titled 2009 album, and in London with the second Power Punch LP.
The group features Nyatiti master Joseph Nyamungu and Lou percussionist Charles Owoko, both from the Nyanza Province in Western Kenya, as well as London-based musicians Tom Skinner (drums), Jesse Hackett (vox/keys) and Louis Hackett (bass).
