Bastien Keb + Leif Maine

Join us for a one-off intimate performance by the incredible Bastien Keb. Supoort by Leif Maine.
Initially cutting his teeth in funk and reggae bands, Keb branched out in his early 20’s and began writing and recording music in his makeshift bedroom studio. Borrowing and buying an array of broken instruments he was unable to play, through obsession of making music ‘properly’ like his idols (Bernard Herrmann, Curtis Mayfield, Tom Waits) he began to get to grips with cello, clarinet, flutes and trumpet. And dived into creating his own sonic world, one where you’re half awake and half asleep. In the back of a taxi on the streets of New York in the night time.
Hearing whispers of sounds only the city makes, jazz clubs, street preachers, Turkish restaurants. Keb’s obsession was to make all these small pieces of music himself, spending days making organic Ethio-jazz tracks, there only use? To be used for 30 seconds covered in reverb, panned hard left and placed between tracks on the album simply to set the scene.
