Homeland Harmonies

Vocalist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, cultural ambassador — Herbert Kinobe is all of these and more. Known onstage as Kinobe, the Ugandan native tours the world, introducing audiences to a unique mix of African, international and roots music. A gifted performer, he incorporates koras, kalimbas and other traditional African instruments into a varied acoustic repertoire. Dedicated to sharing his country’s rich musical heritage, Kinobe takes time to explain each instrument’s social and historical context. The resulting concert experience is one that sparks curiosity and highlights music’s ability to transcend boundaries and facilitate lasting multicultural connections.
