Event Details: Uganda native Gideon fuses folk music with contemporary sounds. East African vocals are paired with the self-crafted traditional enanga, adungu, and kalimba instruments. His ensemble of Mike Cardozo, Roston Kirk and Kurt Eisele-Dyrli create a sonic landscape of intense grooves, joyous dance beats and dreamy textures that Gideon’s vocals cut through or float lightly above.
