Sonic Wave: Anna Mudeka + Jesse Barrett Trio (double bill)
Sonic Wave: Anna Mudeka + Jesse Barrett Trio (double bill)
For the first Sonic Wave night of 2026, we bring you a double bill of African songs with Anna Mudeka followed by the Jesse Barrett Trio – the new project of expanding jazz from the former Mammal Hands drummer.
ANNA MUDEKA: Drawing on her Zimbabwean heritage, singer, multi-instrumentalist and all round polymath Anna Mudeka performs a solo show, including songs from her upcoming album inspired by traditions, sounds and myths of her forebears – the Shona people. In the last year she garnered rave reviews for her much acclaimed solo theatrical production Mama Afrika, the true story of the late South African singer Miriam Makeba, which she also performed at The Cut. https://annamudeka.co.uk
JESSE BARRETT TRIO: Described as “virtuosic” by The Guardian, percussionist and tabla player Jesse Barrett leads his exciting new trio through multi-layers of rhythmic compositions and atmospheric soundscapes. Influenced by everything from North Indian rhythms, jazz improvisations and electronics, their performances skilfully blur the lines between ancient and modern! As part of their tour promoting their debut album, Jesse will be joined by long time collaborator Owen Morgan on bass, and multi-instrumentalist Peter Beardsworth. http://www.vibhaasjessebarrett.com
