A playful encounter between instruments from different eras: the serpent, the flugabone, the trombone, animal-skin percussion, and the double bass. A tremendous space for freedom for the voice, treated as a distinct, elastic, bouncing material, enriched with chants, yodels, and cries. NUBU gleefully plays with eras, explores the blending of timbres, and invents a unique folklore. Their music is both timeless and contemporary, combining jazz, Anglo-Saxon folk, songs, and explosively energizing improvisations. NUBU gives the serpent—with its mystical connotations and forgotten timbre—an unexpected place in a thrilling present.
