Who Are Kubatana?
Kubatana are a group of like-minded individuals who love African rhythm, play some amazing African instruments and love to share what we do with anyone who cares to listen. The first thing you may notice about Kubatana is that we are all different nationalities. I feel this is a perfect reflection of this amazing country we live in. Aotearoa brings together so many nationalities and races to its shores and with its diverse culture has allowed me to feel and experience African rhythm and dance.
After around 8 years of drumming and teaching, I have now found myself having the best time with some amazing people whilst performing what I love for some great crowds throughout the Wellington Region. I must say I feel really privileged.
What do you do?
1. We play African instruments really fast and quite loud until the crowd get dancing!
2. Love performing at all kinds of Events
3. Have fun!
Why do you do it?
Well I have just found African rhythm so accessible and feel a great sense of accomplishment after a set or performance. Having never really been a musician, this has been such a revelation to me (being able to do something that does not require reading music) and just want to get people to join in and realise that if I can do it, anyone can.
