Based in London and led by Nickens Nkoso, Kasai Masai’s music reflects their journey from the rural to urban, performing music which has been passed on from generation to generation combined with their own contemporary style. Written in Swahili, Lingala and Kimongo, Kasai Masai’s lyrics portray the cultural diversity of Congo where more than four hundred languages are spoken. The band’s fast-paced style of soukous and rumba meld with Congolese folkloric traditions to create an infectious form of dance music. Expect galloping rhythms, strong melodies, passionate beats, swinging guitars and moving saxophone as Kasai Masai make their Harrogate debut. Theirs is a sound that will transport you to a land where music is a way of life.

Booths are priced at £110. Booths include entry for 6 people to the event and guarantees your space for the evening. They are only available to reserve by calling the Box Office on 01423 562 303.

Event Information:

Doors open at 7pm.

This is a mixture of seated and standing space. Tables are arranged in unreserved cabaret seating. Come in, find a seat anywhere, squeeze in and make friends. We’re a friendly bunch so please do not leave gaps between seats, so everyone can find a space.

Expect a dancefloor, so there may be times when viewing is obscured when seated.
