Of the people – for the people

Kabantu is playing to help protect nature

On October 24th, Fingertips and Accl (Association Culturelle Chinoise de Luxembourg) have invited the super talented folk band Kabantu to play at Luxembourg’s favourite and most prestigious concert hall the Philharmonie.

Kabantu unravels new marriages of music from around the world to celebrate the space where different cultures meet. Their name is a hybrid of South African languages and also comes from the African philosophy of “ubuntu” derived from the expression “umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu” which means “a person by a person through other people” or “I am what I am because of whom we are all”.

Kabantu has performed throughout the United Kingdom, including BBC Proms at Royal Albert Hall, BBC Free Thinking Festival at Sage Gateshead, BBC Radio 3 In Tune, Bridgewater Hall, Celtic Connections, Cambridge Folk Festival and now for the first time, they are celebrating their debut in Luxembourg!

Proceeds of this concert are going to go to “Wilderness Foundation Formosa”, an organisation which protects the wildlife in Taiwan.
