Kikimora Presents: GANNA | ARCAI

Kikimora Records are teaming up with Centrala to welcome acclaimed Ukrainian composer & performer GANNA to Birmingham! 

Expect Ukrainian folk songs reimagined through electronic textures, improvisation and contemporary songwriting. Her repertoire draws from research trips across Ukraine, where she collected songs and stories from elders in the Carpathians and villages near Kyiv and Poltava. On stage, those field-gathered fragments become something electric – tradition carried forward as wildly magnetic performances. 

Support comes from Arcai, the electronic project of Kai Chareunsy, with his spellbinding fusion of live drums, khaen (traditional Laotian mouth organ) and field recordings from the dense jungles and busy towns of Laos.
