Join the infectiously rhythmic Mampama Quintet for a vibrant afternoon of live music in the stunning grounds of Barham Court
Bring a picnic, settle in on the green, and don’t forget your dancing shoes! The Mampama Quintet brings together talented musicians from Kent and London to celebrate two iconic West African musical traditions: the lilting, fingerpicked melodies of Sierra Leonean Palm Wine music and the infectious rhythms of Ghanaian Highlife. These timeless genres have shaped artists worldwide, and the Quintet honours their rich heritage with performances of classic tracks by E.T. Mensah, S.E. Rogie, Osibisa, and more.
Mampama Quintet are: Simon Lee Guitar — Vocals Kevin Richards — Acoustic Guitar Vocals Kofi Adu — Drums Henri Gaobi — Percussion Emmanuel Darko — Bass guitar
