Arsenal Mikebe
The Ugandan percussion trio plays on a handmade drum set for three players – they dance and drum live. Arsenal Mikebe created an industrial organic rhythm machine by reverse-engineering the TR-808, which allows them to seamlessly incorporate electronic bass sounds into their frenetic performances. The group creates music where rhythms shatter, intersect, and assemble into hypnotic spirals, while vocal lines oscillate between spiritual singing, whispers, and raw growls.
