Kutandara fuses ancient African music traditions with Latin, jazz, gospel, classical, and world folk influences. Their exuberant and hi-energy polyrhythmic performances manage to be innovative and deeply-rooted at the same time.
Kutandara means to come together and have a good time, which is the group’s purpose as they exchange energy of music and movement with their audiences.
Current members include Albert Brown, Kurt Eherenman, Randy McIntosh, Chantel Mead, Grant Peck, Clint Nieman, David Simon, Amy Stewart, Jon Stubbs and Nick Truesdale. Kutandara has performed at the Boulder and Aggie Theaters, Boulder Creek Festival, Colorado Performing Arts Festival, and many other festivals and concert series around the front range.
