Imran Musa Zangi & Aqua Congas

The distinctive percussionist Imran Zangi has been active on the Czech music scene for over 40 years. Among the many groups with which he has performed and recorded, let's mention Trio Jana Koubková, Yo Yo band, minus123minut and Monkey Business. The music for this evening will be varied, oscillating stylistically between soul, funk, pop and jazz. Imran Musa Zangi & Aqua Congas is a new group that can be classified in a genre between fusion, funk and Latino. The project is built on the foundation of the father and son rhythm section, who together released their first album Gift in 2022. The idea for the album and its realization was, as the title suggests, a gift from Filip Zangi to his father Imran. After its release and christening at Jazz Dock, Imran and Filip decided to form a large group, Aqua Congas, whose repertoire combines not only songs from this album, but also a number of other songs whose emphasis on the rhythmic component has the power to lift the audience from their chairs.

The band will be accompanied by Ota Balage, Veronika Dražková and other special guests.
