Sarathy Korwar Drum Ensemble: Album Launch + Loah + Suntou Susso
Sat 15 November 2025
Stage time / 7:30pm
Doors / 7:00pm
Genre-breaking drummer, producer and composer Sarathy Korwar presents a live rendition of his forthcoming album – the first release on his own new label – made up entirely of live drums, drum-triggered electronics and human voices.
For this special one-off show, the band will comprise 10+ drummers, playing an expansive version of the album.
Expect hypnotic and trance-inducing cyclical drum patterns - futuristic folk music that draws from South Asian temple procession rituals, jazz percussion ensembles and contemporary minimalism.
The album is performed as one continuous piece of music without breaks. Interludes and solo spotlights draw the focus on specific musicians and exchanges, all within the framework of a single running piece of music.
Irish / Sierra Leonean singer songwriter Loah will be performing a stripped back acoustic set with Gambian kora player, multi-instrumentalist, and singer Suntou Susso, previewing material from her upcoming debut album including their collaborations which feature heavily on the record.
Presented by the ICA and AsianArtsAgency.
