South African guitarist, composer and thinker Vuma Levin proudly presents his latest album The Past Is Unpredictable, Only The Future Is Certain, in collaboration with AM.OK. During this special concert, Vuma Levin and Dutch composer Tijn Wybenga break free from historical power relations between our cultures and join forces for a unique collaboration.
Sublime fusion
With South African culture as their inspiration, based on old field recordings, they have created new music in which this culture merges equally with our Western musical tradition. Be transported to the hinterlands of Kwazulu Natal and the townships of Soweto and Khayelitsha, enriched by the magnificent strings and horns of the award-winning AM.OK, the Amsterdam Modern Orchestra.
