Kikeh Mato + The Earthlings

Kikeh Mato + The Earthlings

Doors 7:00PM / Show 8:00PM

$10 ADV / $15 DOS

Mandjou Mara brings his experience and expertise as a griot (praise singer) and djembefola (master drummer) to contemporary music with his Afro-pop group Kikeh Mato.   Noting the power of the moon to provide solace, inspiration, and hope, the traditional role of the griot, Mandjou named his group Kikeh Mato meaning "look at the moon." Continuing his role as a griot through performing his original music, Mandjou offers the world comfort, joy, and encouragement. Kikeh Mato's funky African grooves will make you dance all night long.

The Earthlings are a band exploring the furthest reaches of space and the closest caverns of the human heart. Coming out of the chrysalis of quarantine, the group has emerged with a new configuration, adding Grant Blashka on Cybass guitar and sibling Meggie Gilfillan on vocal harmonies. Wonky 808 beats and psychedelic waves of sounds evolve and morph your soul into motion. Expect some classics revamped for the New Age and of course, the unexpected... For fans of: Enya, Beastie Boys.
