Stephen Kent

Stephen Kent A globally acclaimed player of the ancient Aboriginal Didjeridu for over 30 years, Stephen Kent has pioneered its use in contemporary music across the world with band projects such as Lights in a Fat City, Trance Mission, and Baraka Moon. He has collaborated with a diverse series of leading musicians, including Brazil's Airto Moreira, India's Zakir Hussain, Doors drummer John Densmore, American Indian flute legend R. Carlos Nakai, and Tuva's Chirgilchin, to name a few. As a solo performer, he is a virtual one-man band, producing an extraordinary layering of sounds and grooves and creating an almost orchestral ambiance with this primal instrument, accompanying himself on all manner of shakers and hand percussion on musical journeys that travel deep into the heart of the earth.
