Arsenal MikebeUG

Music

Surrender to the irresistible trance of Arsenal Mikebe. Somewhere between concert, collective ritual and unrestrained celebration, the Ugandan trio delivers a mesmerising performance in which percussion becomes a universal language for bodies in motion. Based in Kampala, Ssentongo Moses, Dratele Epiphany and Luyambi Vincent de Paul perform together on a one-of-a-kind instrument: an extraordinary six-handed drum kit custom-built by sculptor Henry Segamwenge: a creation every bit as distinctive as the music it produces. Through playing of astonishing precision, the three musicians weave spellbinding polyrhythms that seem capable of continuing forever. 

Organic beats and infectious rhythms intertwine with immersive electronic loops, shimmering textures and soaring soul-infused vocals that electrify the space. Blending the heritage of East African musical traditions with a resolutely contemporary energy, Arsenal Mikebe transforms every performance into a deeply physical and collective experience. Limber up, loosen your joints and abandon all resistance: here, dancing is not optional, it is inevitable.
