Gifted Irish-based Congolese composer and guitarist Niwel Tsumbu is released his third album ‘S’all Vibration’ on Tuesday and will start an Irish tour on Tuesday 18 October in Galway. In constant demand by his contemporaries, in the last year alone Niwel has performed with Trasna (Mel Mercier, Liam O’Maonlai) at the Festival of World Cultures and in China at Expo 2010 alongside Xiaohui Ma (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon soundtrack).
Niwel also performed with the renowned Senegalese singer Baaba Maal and his performance of ‘Electric Counterpoint’ at The Reich Festival in Cork in front of composer Steve Reich was a triumph.
He recently performed with Donal Dineen at the Body and Soul Festival and Electric Picnic and will be touring with Gavin Friday on his forthcoming European dates.
Niwel will play the Róisín Dubh at 8pm on Tuesday 18 October. Tickets cost €10.
