Embaire ensemble remixed live by Mad Professor
Based in Nakibembe Village, Uganda
The embaire’s repeating patterns get pushed through live dub mixing, so the texture should be deep echoes, sudden drops, and low-end smear around the wooden keys. The performance is likely to feel more like a moving sound-system session than a straight folk set.
This pairs Nakibembe Embaire Group, one of the last working embaire ensembles from Uganda, with Mad Professor, the South London dub producer behind Ariwa. It brings together a village xylophone tradition and one of the key British dub studio lineages.
