Ferro Gaita (from Santiago, West Africa)
Saturday July 30, 2005 at 10:00pm
The Pepper Jack Cafe
38 King William Street
Hamilton, Ontario Get Directions
(originally scheduled for Toronto's Harbourfront)

This Kora (African Music Awards) nominated ensemble are pacesetters of Funana/Tabanka: a bold accordion-inflected musical form unique to the island of Santiago, Cape Verde, with heavy Louisiana Cajun and South African urban jive influences. Ferro is a piece of metal played with a knife, and Gaita is a type of accordion...this all adds up to a music form and live performance that looks and sounds like nothing else out there on the global music landscape!

$8.00
