Percussion d'Abobo – Various instruments

Sinfonia Cymru

After our incredible sell-out tour with multi-instrumentalist Sidiki Dembélé in 2024, we're back with a new and exciting collaboration: Yiriba. You'll experience vibrant West African tunes alongside classical music and folk melodies from Wales and around the world. Musicians from Sidiki's ensemble, Percussion d'Abobo, will join Sidiki and our Sinfonia Cymru chamber orchestra on stage for a thrilling concert that blends musical traditions in exciting and unexpected ways. This concert combines moments of deep reflection with infectious rhythms that will have you dancing in your seat.
