Dakhla Brass, are playing at Bridport Arts Centre on May 5th
Dakhla Brass weave glittering Brass threads into intricate musical tapestries like no other band. Propelled by restless percussion, theirs is ‘not exactly’ music – not exactly jazz or brass band or Arabian or second line Mardi Gras…yet it draws on all of that and more. This is demon stuff, delivered with deadly accuracy by five exceptional musicians, and it’s in a class of it’s own.
‘Armed with just a trumpet, two saxophones, a trombone and a drum kit Dakhla Brass have embarked on a magic exploration of the richness of brass music as celebrated around the world. Their distinctive fusion boasts echoes from the deserts of Rajasthan to the souks of North Africa, the carnival parades of the Caribbean and the downtown bars of Louisiana.’
