Mukana will appear on Friday, July 8.
On Friday, July 8, Town Hall Theater presents the next installment of its World Music + Wine series, outdoors at Lincoln Peak Vineyard, featuring the world-class musical collective Mukana (meaning "opportunity" in the Shona language of Zimbabwe). The eight-piece band is an eclectic gathering of musicians hailing from Chile, Haiti, Zimbabwe, Brazil, even a Middlebury College grad. Their international sound blends world and jazz traditions in sophisticated arrangements, with beautiful complexity and global rhythms. Mukana creates music that compels you to your feet in a joyful celebration of our global community.
Mukana is comprised of Zimbabwean singer/songwriter/Multi-instrumentalist Tendai Muparutsa (Artist in residence in African Music Performance at Williams College);
Chilean singer/songwriter Natalia Bernal; Haitian singer Nadine Niles (of the powerhouse Haitian roots band Lakou Mizik); guitarist/musical director Jason Ennis;
saxophonist/arranger Michael Zsoldos; drummer Conor Meehan; bassist Itaiguara Brandão; plus a special guest star trombonist.

cuisine. Patrons are also welcomed to pack a picnic, but please no outside alcohol.
