Kutapira is a marimba & percussion ensemble formed in 2005 in East-Vancouver. The band is made up of five musicians, ages 25-30, who started playing when they were kids over 15 years ago. At the core of this band is the marimba music of Zimbabwe, fused with West-African djembe, Afro-cuban conga’s- and traditional drum kit, providing a steady driving groove. All members switch seamlessly between marimba and percussion. There is a magic created at the shows between audience and band members. From toddlers to young adults. From seniors to elementary school students, the energy and unique musical fusion, has been able to ignite something within people of all ages and walks of life.
