    Zimbabwean singer and multi-instrumentalist Anna Mudeka followed by Jesse Barrett Trio, the new expanding-jazz project from the former Mammal Hands drummer.

    On Saturday 14th March at The Cut in Halesworth, Sonic Wave present a special double bill featuring African songs from Anna Mudeka followed by the Jesse Barrett Trio - the new expanding jazz project from the former Mammal Hands drummer.

    Drawing on her Zimbabwean heritage, singer, multi-instrumentalist and all round polymath Anna Mudeka performs a solo show, including songs from her upcoming album Ruvimbo, inspired by traditions and myths of her forebears - the Shona people. Let your soul be transported with songs in Kalanga, Ndebele and in Shona, with storytelling garnered from her grandmother, chanting, and a rich combination of wonderful sounds.

    Percussionist and tabla player Jesse Barrett, described as "virtuosic” by The Guardian, leads his exciting new trio through multi-layers of rhythmic compositions and atmospheric soundscapes. Influenced by everything from North Indian rhythms, jazz improvisations and electronics, their performances skilfully blur the lines between ancient and modern! As part of their debut album tour promoting their Adhyatma release, Jesse will be joined by long time collaborator Owen Morgan on bass, and multi-instrumentalist Peter Beardsworth.

    You can enjoy a meal with flavours from Europe and the Middle East from 6pm, and the Halesworth Harmony choir will perform a few songs in the café. Concerts in the theatre begin at 7:30pm.

    Tickets: £15 adv / £20 door / £25 adv with meal (limited number)
