Ade Anifowose Trio
Ade Anifowose is a drummer currently studying Music at the University of Nottingham. As a way of bringing his artistic vision and material to life for his end of year recital in June, he formed a trio recruiting Lucas Walters on piano and Simon Paterson on bass to play alongside him. Also featured in the performance was Ines Fonseca who lended her voice and talent to aid in its presentation. Together, they played an eclectic set of music, journeying through afro-cuban, traditional swing jazz and brazilian samba styles.
With an affinity for music’s unique storytelling qualities, Ade always seeks to arrange a compelling set of music that leaves its mark on the audience. A highlight from the trio’s June performance was Duke Ellington’s Caravan reimagined by Ade, which captured its melancholic vibe in an exciting syncopated Afro-Cuban style. This trio aims to continue with their music making, experimenting with new compositions to effectively put on a great show.
