Kande

Acehnese group Kande host a rousing singing workshop and percussion demonstration.

Join lead vocalist Rafly for an introduction to a different world of vocals and percussion. The rich texture of his vocal style derives from 16th century Sufi preaching.

Rafly is also demonstrating the rapa'i, an Acehnese percussion instrument made from jackfruit wood and goat skin.

Kande's uplifting music combines traditional Islamic percussion and vocals with western guitars and bass. It expresses messages about peace, religion, and the environment.
