Led by multi instrumentalist Hannabiell Sanders, this high energy ensemble is nothing less than exhilarating as it fuses together Afro-Caribbean & Latin percussion, Jazz, Afro-beat, and Funk to create their unique sound. The music created from this fusion is an organic blend of powerful and upbeat drums, brass, vocal chants, and mbira compositions which not only produces an invigorating party atmosphere, it also summons audience participation. This fusion they call “Afro-psychedelic funk.”
Award winning Hannabiell & the Midnight Blue collective, have created a buzz, performing at venues such as the Southbank Centre-London, Sage Gateshead-Gateshead, The Cluny-Newcastle, the Hare & Hound-Birmingham, Jazz Refreshed-London, The Hagglers Corner-Sheffield and many more. |
