Join us for an evening of traditional West African music, blues, funk and jazz hosted by Lamine World Music Afrofusion trio
Our repertoire comprises new compositions based on traditional West African music, blues, funk and jazz. In this ensemble we’re centered around the djembe as the lead instrument. In addition, Lamine has his own approach to tuning the djembe that allows for a greater range of overtones. Together with voice, bass and guitar, this creates a vibe that’s both unique and hypnotic.
Lamine Thiam is a percussionist, singer, dancer, choreographer, actor and educator based in New York City. Originally from Senegal, he has worked and performed internationally and is currently on the dance faculty at SUNY Purchase. While his mastery of the art form is unquestionable, Lamine views himself as a lifelong student and holds humility as being essential to the development of artistic excellence.
Al Castro is an electric bassist and guitarist who is interested in the music of the African diaspora. He has performed in a variety of rock and Latin music ensembles.
Sid Whelan is an experienced and versatile guitarist who gears his playing towards the songs and the ensemble of the moment. In this context that typically means percussive West African funk guitar ostinatos alternating with Lamine’s melodic phrases; punchy ensemble breaks and improvised blues solos.
