Concert: Feya Faku Quintet featuring Keenan Ahrends

A collaboration of great South African and Swiss musicians

Feya Faku Quintet on the occasion of its last recording session at the Musikerwohnhaus Basel

Feya Faku is a legend and has had a great impact on the South African jazz scene since the 1990s. His songbook full of the colours and rythms of the Eastern Cape has become a standard. In 2013 Faku and his quintet recorded the award wining CD Le Ngoma (our music) at the Musikerwohnhaus in Basel. – a tribute to the jazz of South Africa and the musicians that taught him the trade but also a testimony of great friendship and lasting collaboration with wonderful Swiss musicians. Guitarst Keenan Ahrends, who like Faku is currently artist in residence in Basel, joins this great band.

The audience is limited to 15 people - please get your ticket here.
