About

Matthew Barley brings four string instruments and four cultures together with Hanna Ryynänen, Adriano Adewale and Dawda Jobarteh. They play arrangements of dances and lullabies from four corners of the world in Gent on 26 November.

What to expect

Hanna Ryynänen plays Finnish kantele, Adriano Adewale Brazilian berimbau and Dawda Jobarteh Gambian kora, with Matthew Barley completing the four string instruments.

The 'designed improvisations' are templates with structure and a bit of content, so every performance is a cousin of the one before and the one after.

  • 51 strings, plucked, stroked and bowed
  • Arrangements of dances and lullabies
  • Lullabies show their darkest side
  • Grooves bring relief
