Overview
Experience the vibrant sounds of Africa with Kinobe (pronounced Chinobay) and his Pan-African Trio! The acclaimed Ugandan musician is celebrated for his masterful blend of traditional African instruments, global rhythms, and soulful melodies—a powerful celebration of musical traditions and human connection. From the kora to the kalimba, Kinobe’s rich, uplifting sound invites you on a journey that bridges cultures and touches the heart.
About Chinobay:
Kinobe (Chinobay) is a Ugandan musician, educator, and creative arts producer whose work has been described as “some of the most exquisite music coming out of Africa today." Since his youth, he has captivated audiences with world-roots rhythms and melodies that emanate from the diversity of the many traditional instruments he customized to develop his unique sound. The diverse textures of Kinobe’s music make it soothing, pulsing, meditative, invigorating, and intimate—much of it a mix of original and traditional with global influences—but the sounds are uniquely his.
Kinobe’s pan African quartet brings together Cameroonian producer and bassist Jonas Yologaza, Nigerian drummer Olaolu Ajibade, and dual national keyboardist William Pefok from Cameroon and Nigeria. Led by Kinobe’s voice and African traditional instruments e.g. Kora, Kalimba, Endongo and Tama, this band has created a unique sound of their own tapping into various global influences with a strong foundation in African roots.
