Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force
A most thrilling dialogue between German electronic engineering and African drum talk - their hybrid sound honed through many iterations of intercontinental exchange. The brainchild of Berlin techno luminary Mark Ernestus, Ndagga Rhythm Force have spent the past few years establishing themselves as an undeniably exhilarating live act on stages around the world. Bringing his electronic production sensibilities and taste for dubwise to the rhythmic landscape of Mbalax and Sabar, Ernestus tends to reside at the mixing desk when it comes to Ndagga’s live shows, leaving the audience enthralled in the energetic grip of the on-stage nine-piece. Characterised by hypnotic polyrhythmic drums guided by the vocals of Mbene Diatta Seck, Ndagga Rhythm Force’s music is best experienced in its live form, where studio versions of their tracks are wrought out into extended exploratory jams.
The live formation of consists of Lineup: Mbene Diatta Seck (vocal), Bada Seck (sabar), Modou Mbaye (talking drum), Ousmane Ka (drum set), Ibou Mbaye (keyboard), Serigne Mamoune Seck (sabar), with Mark Ernestus supervising the mixing.
This will be bands first European date of 2024 - where they will premier new material (along side previous recordings) Open Ground offers the listener an intimate and unique acoustic environment.
