CHRIS BERRY TRIO featuring MICHAEL KANG (of The String Cheese Incident) - January 7th, 2010
Join us at the Fox Theatre on January 7th, 2010 for The CHRIS BERRY TRIO featuring MICHAEL KANG (of The String Cheese Incident)
CB-3’s Sound is a mix of the modern and the ancient. Old rhythms from the motherland are played through heavy electronics and otherworldly effects. The electric Mbira developed by Chris Berry, is the only one of its kind and creates a unique and distinctive sound that characterizes CB-3’s original sound. The result is a dubbed out very dancey version of CB-3’s mother-band, Panjea.
Chris Berry’s music got its start in the Ghettos of Zimbabwe where his platinum selling albums featured fusions of Funk, Dance Hall Reggae and African Rhythms. After losing most of his band to AIDS and Zimbabwe’s brutal regime, Chris narrowly escaped Zimbabwe in 2000 and has kept his music alive with his band Panjea ever since. Chris left Africa with the honors of being the first non-Zimbabwean ever to be given the title of Gwenaymbira or ‘one who’s music summons the spirits.
