Karibuni

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karibuni is an international music group from Münster . The group founded the genre of world music for children in Germany and has brought it to a wide audience since 1997. The group name Karibuni means "Welcome" in the East African language Kiswahili and is borrowed from the title of the first CD Karibuni Watoto ("Welcome Children").

history

Karibuni was founded in 1997 by the Ethiopian musician Josephine Kronfli and the ex- Cochise musician Pit Budde in Münster. The concept of Karibuni is to arrange songs from different cultures in a way that appeals to the local children and adults and to sing them bilingually, in the original language and a German translation. It plays a major role that musicians from the relevant cultures are involved in every production. The Karibuni music aims to be a kind of cautious transfer of the original melodies and sounds into the changing listening habits of children and adults in Germany.

A multitude of musical instruments from different cultures gives each Karibuni CD a new sound and character. From African, Oriental, Indian drums, various percussion instruments to the Arab-Turkish kink-neck lute oud , baglamas , violin, lamellophone , various flutes, the Finnish kantele , the Alpine dulcimer , a samba band, Andean music to guitar, bass, trumpet and the accordion has a variety of tones and stems to be heard. Karibuni CDs and programs have musicians from Angola, Ethiopia, Mali, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Indians and Inuit from Canada, Ukraine, Poland, Finland, Iceland, Congo, Zambia, Tanzania, Mongolia, China, Brazil, Spain, Portugal , Turkey, Palestine, Morocco, Italy and Australia participated. Sometimes recordings were made for individual songs in Ethiopia, Zambia, Mali or when the Indians and Inuit visited Canada.

Since 2013, the group, which has been expanded to include several international musicians, has also been on stage with a program for adults under the name karibuni @ddis .
