TwoManTing
Sunshine Music
TwoManTing was formed in 2004 when Sierra Leonean drummer Jah-man
Aggrey, and guitarist Jon Lewis were playing together as part of dance band,
Le Cod Afrique, at venues such as Montreux Jazz Festival and WOMAD.
The duo immediately became a hit on the UK festival circuit with their brand of
bouncy “Sunshine Afro-roots”. Shows have included Glastonbury, Secret
Garden Party, Wilderness and Green Man Festivals to name but a few. Using
guitar, live loops and percussion the duo creates a highly danceable full band
sound and their reputation has earned them recent support slots with the likes
of Tinariwen, The Oyster Band, Edward 2 and Dub Colossus. Their music is
often featured on BBC Radio 3 and 6Music.
Shows feature palm-wine, acoustic dub and highlife grooves with thoughtful
and thought-provoking lyrics on subjects ranging from childhood memories,
political protest and er….duvets.
