Ubunye deliver a soulful, goose bump inducing performance of original pieces cleverly fused with South African songs.
Ubunye is the conception of keyboard player and lead songwriter David Evans, who first collaborated with baritone singer Xolani Mbatha at a festival that he was running in Leeds. The new exciting Ubunye line up consists of the renowned jazz drummer Steve Hanley, distinguished Leeds musicians Nik Svarc and Kenny Higgins on guitar and bass respectively, as well as singers Xolani Mbatha and Nokuthula Zondi, who as a trio (along with Evans on backing vocals) perfectly compliment each other and provide a robust sonic force.
Michelle Scally Clarke will also be performing some poems with the band!
