Events Calendar

A Canadian musician with global persuasions, Curtis Andrews specializes in South Indian percussion, West African drum/dance, drumset, and mbira. Born and raised in coastal Newfoundland but based in Vancouver since 2009, the percussionist/composer’s award-winning ensemble draws from a trove of world-jazz compositions that artfully point in the direction of South India and West Africa. Heavy on rhythm, groove, and wild forays into modal improvisation, The Offering of Curtis Andrews is “culturally rich, melodically rich, and–of course–rhythmically rich” (Something Else!).

With Shruti Ramani vocals, Israel “Toto” Berriel percussion, Jared Burrows guitar, Robin Layne vibraphone, David Soutar-Spidel bass, and Kristian Naso trumpet.
