ANCXSTRAL FREQUENCIES - sonic rituals

ANCXSTRAL FREQUENCIES is an experimental live sound ritual driven by heavy, pulsating bass and layered polyrhythms. Drawing on Gnawa percussion, Nigerian talking drums, Bwiti ritual sounds, Afro-Caribbean samples and Arabic rhythmic cycles, the performance brings diverse sonic lineages into dialogue with experimental electronics. Through vinyl, samples, plant sounds, women’s voices, singing, spoken word and improvisation, RUSNAM, Anguezomo Nzé Mba Bikoro and Luana Madikera create a shifting soundscape in which ancestral resonances meet contemporary sonic experimentation. The performance moves between deep bass frequencies, rhythmic complexity, vocal invocation and embodied expression. Part live performance, part collective ritual, ANCXSTRAL FREQUENCIES approaches sound as a carrier of memory, resistance and intergenerational knowledge - opening a space for listening, movement and reconnection across histories, geographies and diasporas.
