Nsasi

n the context of the public programme for Jonathan Uliel Saldanha’s Surface Disorder, Galeria Municipal do Porto presents Nsasi, a musical artist who brings us the underground echos of Uganda.

Their sound combines traditional rhythms and sound palettes with the universe of ultra-modern and disruptive music. Their acoustic cosmos is recognised by the ability to alternate contrasting sounds, carrying listeners on a journey through different times and genres. The result is a dynamic landscape where acid beats collide with Kiganda percussion and East African rhythms.

This “Enfant Terrible” from the picturesque and deeply conservative town of Jinja, Uganda, gained an early reputation for questioning norms, developing subversive DJ sets, between slowed-down dance anthems, glossy R&b’s and dynamic experiences in fringe clubs.
