World Music Sunday Brunch

Sun 14 Oct 2012, 12 pm
The Hanoi Bicycle Collective

From the organizer:

After the success of the performance last week, Musbaba and Dung Hit will play at Hanoi Bicycle Collective this Sunday. Enjoy a merging of music from Vietnam and Mali with Dung Hit, a young Hanoian Dan tranh player and Musbaba, a West African musician who has recently been impressing Hanoi audiences.

Musbaba is from Mali and has been in Hanoi since May 2012. He is well recognized in the African music scene, having played with the Symetrique Orchestra and collaborated with top African musicians. He plays Djembé, tamani (talking drum), dundun, calebasse and n’goni (pictured). He is both a musician and a composer. Hanoi has been very very lucky with his arrival, there are not many musicians with his talent.

Dung Hit is a 23 young Hanoian, who plays Dan tranh ( traditional Vietnamese plucked, stringed instrument).

Musbaba and Dung have been cooperating together for a few months, and have managed to intermingle traditional Mali and Vietnamese music. The result tends to have lush, soothing and highly polished qualities where emphasis on melody and harmonies is accentuated. It is usually melodic enough to get a listener’s attention, and is inoffensive and pleasurable enough to work well as background music.
