Afrit Nebula ~ 5.00pm

Some bands fit neatly into a genre. Afrit Nebula prefers to travel between them.
Blending elements of avant-garde jazz, progressive rock, Middle Eastern modes, Afro-Cuban rhythms and improvisational music, this unique trio creates a sound that is adventurous, atmospheric and impossible to predict. Their music moves effortlessly between hypnotic grooves, cinematic soundscapes and explosive moments of spontaneous creativity.

Expect intricate rhythms, expressive improvisation, rich textures and the kind of musical conversation that can only happen between seasoned performers who trust each other completely.
Join us for an evening where boundaries dissolve and musical worlds collide.
