Dorchester Arts Centre 8pm (doors and bar 7.30pm) £12/£10
FREE AFTER SHOW PARTY!
Dorchester Arts is thrilled to be welcoming the legendary TRANSGLOBAL UNDERGROUND for an exclusive performance by three members of this world famous music collective on Friday 4 November. Following the gig at Dorchester Arts there will be a free After Show Party at the Old Ship Inn, High West Street, Dorchester hosted by ShindigNation and featuring DJ's Biggabush and Full Moon Tunes.
Award winning pioneers of the dance fusion scene, Transglobal Underground are regarded as one of the UKs best live acts. Currently in their 20th year, having performed everwhere from London to Kazakhstan, from India to South Africa and from Australia to Morocco, this year they released their 9th album 'The Stone Turntable.'
This show, presented in association with the Urban Wastelands Exhibition at Dorchester Arts Centre, brings together three of the central members of the collective: founder members, producers, DJs and multi-instrumentalists Hamid Man Tu and Tim Whelan, along with sitarist Sheema Mukherjee, known in her own right for her work with the Imagined Village, Cornershop, Andy Shepherd and many others.
Transglobal Underground have been present at some of the most significant historical turning points of the century: they travelled to Eastern Europe and played in Sarajevo to mark the end of the war in Yugoslavia and they marked the dawn of the Millenium in 2000 playing next to the Thames in London at midnight.
Their mix of eclectic sounds, percussion and flamboyant performance has been a sensation on the festival scene and earned them a world-wide reputation for creating ground-breaking dance music. Their performances fuse western dance music with Arabic, Asian and African music and reveal influences from DJ culture, Indian classical, reggae, bhangra, hip-hop, underground art and community politics.
This is a rare treat for anyone who loves great music and dancing. For more information visit: www.transglobalundergound.net
