Toumani Diabaté’s Symmetric Orchestra


'A jubilant polyrhythmic party of percussion, electric guitars, and Diabaté’s 21-stringed instrument showering notes like a musical waterfall.’ - The Village Voice

Sydney festival is bringing us many many great things, however, with the description above and a tick price of FREE I think 'Toumani Diabaté’s Symmetric Orchestra' might be my very favourite. I mean- polyrhythmic party- a free polyrhythmic party - with musical waterfalls! what more can one want in life?

Diabaté will be joined by Vieux Farka Touré, and together will use a range of West african instruments such as kora, djembe, balafon and bolombatto alongside guitars and drums to blend rock, blues and reggae with Saharan rhythms to no doubt produce an impressive performance.

So be in the Domain on the 16th of Janurary for an 8pm start.
