It’s something of a cliché now to say a band defies categorisation but the sonic mavericks of Sankorfa are only too worthy of this observation. Formed in 2004, Guildhall School of Music alumnae Michael Allen, Zands Duggan, Ruth Gomez and Scott Wilson are the four multi-instrumentalists behind the band, who borrow their name from an African word meaning ‘looking back to go forward’. Their energetic live performances, as demonstrated at the Borderline venue in London last Friday consist of these highly skilled percussionists swapping and navigating around various instruments to produce strange soundscapes that are at once lush and stark.
