The acoustic world music duo Nomad returns to Duncan, playing at the Garage Showroom. Their unique blend of styles creates a powerful “roots virtuosity” sound with audiences carried on an inner voyage of sonic landscapes.
Nomad is Kinobe, a young Ugandan master of the 26 string African harp known as the Kora, and Michael Waters, a Victoria-based virtuoso guitarist. They met in Uganda in 2006 and have mounted ten tours in Canada, the USA and Europe since then.
Kinobe has been playing music since the age of five, and began touring Europe with an African ensemble when he was ten. Based in Kampala, he has travelled the whole of Africa playing with musicians steeped in the tribal traditional styles. His fascination with the Kora came from hearing the Mali virtuoso Toumani Diabate play. Kinobe also plays the kalimba (thumb piano) and percussion instruments in his shows.
Michael Waters has grown a strong west coast following through performances in churches and theatres over the last five years. After 33 years playing guitar as a spiritual practice, Michael’s 2004 encounter with the medicine traditions of the Amazon triggered a complete shift in his approach to music and a decision to begin performing publicly. He combines soaring guitar virtuosity and a new genre known as acoustic psychedelic chill.

Doug Koyama sings about life, peace, love and truth but you would never know it from the lyrics in his songs. Actual words are replaced by invented language and sounds that, at times, sound more like Spanish, French, Russian or Klingon than English.
Doug is on a vocal voyage of discovery into the heart of improvisation with a loop pedal. His voice is recorded and looped, bits of melody, harmony and vocal percussion are layered to create rich bed tracks over which soaring harmonies and verse and chorus are performed. Each song is completely improvised from beginning to end.
