Nyttu Chongo Presents Phulani

July 26, 2024 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

Overview

This performance by the locally-acclaimed musician and composer Nyttu Chongo is both a celebration and a mourning of human connection across space and time. Phulani, which means “Open” in Changana, is a series of original works about connecting to each other, the world, and ancestors who came before us through the language of music. This three-part performance spotlights West, Central, and Southern Africa, featuring the West African Kora, Rwandan Inanga, and a variety of Mozambican idiophones and percussive instruments (mbira, timbila). Composed through a uniquely African style of improvisation, Nyttu Chongo will bring soundscapes never before heard on the Ordway stage and explore the threads, rhythms, and sounds that bind us to each other.
