COTFG: The Kraken Quartet and Elliot Cole - Hanuman's Leap
Kraken Quartet w/Elliot Cole: HANUMAN'S LEAP
7pm, August 30th SVT Main Stage
HANUMAN'S LEAP is a music drama composed and performed by Elliot Cole. Accompanied by live percussionists and a recorded choir of himself, he narrates, sings, raps and dances an adventure story from the Indian epic Ramayana. The music draws on many genres traditional epic song, hip hop and reggae, throat singing, choral and experimental music and combines them into something ancient and new, universal and original. He performs with four drummers, on rough drum kits of metal and wood, delivering big beats for dancing.
