Joachim Cooder (USA) and Adriano Viterbini (Italy)

Civic Theatre · Gosforth

Joachim Cooder is one-of-a-kind. He plays a variety of instruments, writes songs that seem to come from a slightly different universe and is unforgettable once seen and heard. One of Cooder’s true calling cards is how his music can float in air. What the man can do is a blend of percussion, strings, vocals, and other wonders without names into a breathing animal all its own. Joachim Cooder grew up surrounded by music alongside his father, legendary guitarist Ry Cooder who took him on the road at an early age on the drums, playing both live and in the studio. These touring and recording projects allowed him to share stages and recordings with Johnny Cash, Ali Farka Touré, Steve Earle, John Lee Hooker, Dr. John, Mavis Staples, and most notably the award- winning project The Buena Vista Social Club which has sold more than eight million copies worldwide. He is joined by Italian guitarist and composer Adriano Viterbini, whose credits include Jovanotti, Bombino, and JET, and most recently with Joachim, performing together as a duo throughout Europe. “A joyous mix of African kalimba and traditional country blues melodies.” – The SUNDAY TIMES – Seven quietly exotic songs flowin...
