Mundi Trio
A musical journey filled with global colours,
grooves and influences.
BALCAIRN HALL welcomes the return of Mundi Trio!
Filled with joy and exuberant energy, Mundi trio have captured hearts across the land and far-flung seas.
“I don’t think anyone wanted the music to end and thus an encore was demanded and happily delivered with as much energy, skill and joy as the Mundi Trio had shown throughout.” - Reefton
Mundi trio comprises Brazilian percussionist Ricardo Stuani, guitarist and dancer Chris Dabinett and flautist, vocalist, percussionist, dancer and composer Tamara Smith. In this Arts on Tour performance Mundi perform a new series of compositions that weave together the two oldest instruments in human’s history – flutes and percussion- into a sizzling array of duelling Brazilian/African percussion with vocal melodies soaring above. With dances, choreographed by Tamara intertwined, these exciting new compositions lure people into an ancient memory of the pulse of life and awaken our dancing selves lurking beneath.
