Make Music New York

Of the more than 300 Make Music New York concerts held on the summer solstice, the Kalimba/Mbira Jam in Union Square might have been one of the more quiet,

Friday’s Kalimba/ Mbira jam was led by Kevin Nathaniel seen with student Hadiiya Barbel and Hasan Bakr, a colleague of Nathaniel’s for over 30 years yet mystical celebrations in the city.

But the Kalimba/Mbira Jam at Union Square Park saw a gathering of the instrument’s devotees led by an expert of the genre, Kevin Nathaniel, who was assisted by Hasan Bakr and Saco Myoji. Nathaniel is right at home in Union Square Park, as he and Myoji can be found there most afternoons playing for whoever stops by.

After chatting a bit about the instrument, Nathaniel and company would set up a basic rhythm and participants would take turns standing up and soloing. The diversity of the group perfectly echoed the current concept for the park.
