Out Of Africa - George Panda & His Band In Concert

George Panda is a virtuoso drummer/percussionist who brings drumming from its often background role to centre-stage. His compositions blend his African heritage (Sierra Leone), with his other loves; latin and jazz.

Compositions coming from the perspective of the drummer, give this music a unique and interesting angle not often heard. The drums not only inspire the melody lines, but are also played in a very melodic way, giving a sound reminiscent of the complex polyphony of West African music.

The concert will make waves with the fresh originality of the music, and the vibrant performances of the musicians, Serge Ngando-Double Bass (Cameroon) and Jonathan Idiagbonya-Piano (Nigeria).
