Introducing our international guest artist
for the 2024 Harbour Concerts, all the way from Uganda:

Nakibembe Embaire Group

NAKIBEMBE EMBAIRE GROUP

Join us for their Japan debut at EC, bringing borderless trance music to the Sea of Japan. NAKIBEMBE’s performances center around the embaire, a large wooden xylophone that is performed by up to eight musicians simultaneously. The performers weave short polyrhythmic, melodic phrases together, adding vocals, shakers, and drums to conjure ecstatic compositions. It’s music that flows endlessly, creating waves of coalescing grooves. NAKIBEMBE EMBAIRE GROUP blends traditional percussion techniques with experimental musical expression, using electronic music to explore new frontiers in music. When they join Kodo on stage, they’ll transport you to a borderless world where we are all connected by a common beat. Don’t miss this world premiere collaboration and the chance to see one of the few remaining embaire groups!
