FulaMuse is a double dose of heart poured over rhythms to uplift the body and soul - the union of two bands who nourish and rouse the collective spirit. MaMuse invokes a musical presence that inspires the opening of the heart. Fula Brothers create an ecstatic groove-based dialogue which the heart, and the feet, cannot resist. Songbird singers, West African hunters harp, fingerstyle guitar, drums, vocals, bass, ukulele - all part of the bounty. Boatloads of improvisation, a full heart, and always an ecstatic community of dancers.
MaMuse: featuring Sarah Nutting, Karisha Longaker, Mike Wofchuck. With deep roots in the folk and gospel traditions, and their hearts in the present, MaMuse create uplifting music for the next seven generations to thrive on. Interweaving brilliant and haunting harmony with lyrics born of honed emotional intelligence, MaMuse invokes a musical presence that inspires the opening of the heart. Playing a family of varied acoustic instruments including upright bass, guitar, mandolins, ukulele, and flutes, these two powerful women embody a love for all of life. The synergy that is created through this musical connection is palpable and truly moving to witness.
Fula Brothers: featuring Mamadou Sidibe, Walter Strauss. Fula Brothers are a burst of unbridled creative musicianship and happy making. A high spirited meeting of veteran performers from West Africa and America, each with a history of innovation and collaboration with some of the beloved musicians of these cultures. Together they weave West African hunters harp, fingerstyle guitar, drums, vocals, and a bounty of improvisation into an ecstatic groove based dialogue which the heart - and the feet - cannot resist.
