Afrodisiac explores ritual, love and magic in African and South American cultures through an exhilarating mix of music and visual art.
Featuring an ensemble of 7 classical musicians and vocalist performing alongside traditional African instruments, Afrodisiac offers a unique musical cocktail with startling imagery.
For collaborators in this unique audio-visual performance, composer Charlie Barber has brought together two highly respected musicians on traditional African instruments: Seckou Keita, an inspired and charismatic performer of the kora (the West African harp-lute) and Chartwell Dutiro, an ethnomusicologist and performer of the mbira, the Zimbabwean 'thumb piano', whilst the visual element of the production will be provided by Cuban artist Raul Speek.
In a 60-minute integrated audio-visual celebration, Afrodisiac filters African and South American traditional music through a contemporary perspective and explores the worlds of ritual and magic.
