Arsenal Mikebe

Gathered around an impressive arsenal of instruments sculpted together as one, Ugandan percussionist trio Arsenal Mikebe leads listeners into a hypnotic trance.

From mesmerising polyrhythms and unbridled runs of acoustic and electronic percussion to ululating voices and synthetic drones, Arsenal Mikebe’s music is immediately ear-catching through the power of its unique beat. Based in Kampala, the Ugandan percussionists released their first groundbreaking album in 2024: the aptly named DRUM MACHINE, performed on a custom-made machine sculpted by Henry Segamwenge. This steel-cast “percussion machine” combines a range of instruments and tools to build a sound inspired by the legendary TR-808 Rhythm Composer. On stage, the three musicians face off, standing at the three points of their impressive triangle to take their wild trance to its max. While bringing the audience along for the ride.
