Speakeasyjazz welcomes Niwel Tsumbu | Shannon Rowing Club | Thursday March 25th | €12 / €10 with booking

Congolese born, Cork based Niwel Tsumbu’s love for playing guitar bloomed in his teens while experimenting with the music of his homeland and blossomed when he learned jazz. Tsumbu’s elegant and fluent style draws from African rhythms, rumba, jazz, classical, flamenco and more. Playing electric and acoustic guitars and singing mostly in his native Lingala, Niwel commands a range of music from contemporary versions of Congolese traditional music to modern Jazz. His love of the Spanish style of guitar playing beautifully exposes Rumba’s Latin roots and his live shows are a spellbinding musical journey, infused with optimism and joy.

Arguelles, Guilfoyle & Black are an international trio, featuring three leading contemporary jazz musicians of their generation and respective countries - British saxophonist Julian Arguelles, the Irish bassist Ronan Guilfoyle, and the American drummer Jim Black – their new recording ‘Live in Dublin’ captures the excitement and ‘in the moment’ feel of live saxophone trio playing. Mixing original compositions and standards, creating a free-wheeling spontaneity and powerful rhythmic drive, with each member showing an almost telepathic response to the playing of the others -  the music unfolds  seamlessly with a great sense of swing and much rhythmic intrigue.

Supermodel Twins Single Launch | Baker Place | Friday March 19 | €5
