Stevo Atambire & World Citizen

The charismatic musician Stevo Atambire is one of the most distinctive voices in West Africa. Having grown up in north-eastern Ghana, he is deeply rooted in the musical tradition of the Frafra and is a virtuoso player of the kologo - a two-stringed lute whose reduced, rhythmic sound characterizes his songs. His music and the musician himself radiate an incredible energy and warmth that inspires and enchants the audience. Influences range from the soundscapes of nomadic cultures such as Tuareg and Fulani to more modern trends that keep his pieces open and contemporary. Together with the Swiss band World Citizen, Atambire expands this foundation into a multi-layered live sound. The ensemble combines West African tradition with European influences, brass sections and electronic grooves. The result is a dense, danceable mixture that hovers between world and Afro groove and will hopefully get the Triebguet audience dancing and sweating.
