Global Club Nights: The Pan-African Ensemble & Tamam

The Pan-African Ensemble

The Pan-African Ensemble explores contemporary African music and traditional musical styles. The music in the ensemble unites cultural diversity into one creative community. Musicians from all over the world come together to make African music, bringing their own unique instruments and voices to it. They immerse themselves in dance rhythms and adapt them to suit their own instruments. This creates a feeling in the listener that music has no boundaries.

Dance and expression mean freedom, and do not require knowledge of any particular dance style from any particular region. So come and dance! Our performance offers an unforgettable experience that breaks down the boundaries between the audience and the performers.

The band’s distinctive features include strong vocals, a horn section and rhythms that include echoes of Afrobeat, zouk, soukous, and East African rumba and drum music. Improvisation is also not forgotten in the performances.

Tamam

Tamam is a Helsinki-based ensemble of eight musicians united by a shared belief in music’s power to bring people together.  Drawing from the rich traditions of the Aegean and Minor Asia, Tamam performs songs that have crossed borders for generations.

Evening in Collaboration with Global Club Nights and Kanneltalo.
