at White Box Gallery, 329 Broome Street (between Christie and Bowery Streets) in Manhattan

Same program as Sept 12th and 13th PLUS the Quintet will be joined by Afro-Pop band Timbila

TIMBILA blazes ecstatic African rock with an East Village edge. The trance of African spirit possession merges with the trance of free-spirited head-bangers. The surreal buzzing beauty of timbila (Chopi xylophone, Mozambique) and hypnotic dream melodies of mbira (Shona thumb piano, Zimbabwe) soar with stinging guitar riffs and sassy celestial vocals in grooves that are deeply funky, fierce and danceable. No other band sounds like TIMBILA.

Members of Timbila include
Nora Balaban - mbira, timbila, vocals
Banning Eyre - guitar
Rima Fand - violin, vocals
Louisa Bradshaw - vocals
Dirck Westervelt - bass
Bill Ruyle - drums, tablas, percussion
