Zukira Duo

Zukira is a unique husband wife duo playing a striking combination of cello and guitar. Having played together since 2016 after meeting on the Ugandan music scene, they have developed a captivating upbeat and mellow sound with a classical flair.  Performing music from a variety of genres including Classical, Pop, Rock, R&B, Soul, Afrobeats and Jazz, Zukira the Duo are impressively versatile, performing at a wide range of occasions and events and for a variety of clients including Netflix’s Love is Blind, Bridgerton/Alicia Keys, and Zawe Ashton.  Their eclectic style draws on the influences of their distinctive mixed heritage. Abbie is half English, half Ugandan, and was raised in the UK, studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Gavie is half Ugandan, half Ukrainian and was raised and trained in Uganda. His playing is strongly influenced by African contemporary/jazz music. Together, they’re emerging on London’s music scene as a new and exciting alternative, reimagining well-loved melodies with each performance. Zukira’s vision is to ‘combine the classical, sonorous sound of the cello with African contemporary guitar to create a relaxed and captivating musical fusion’ and they achieve this to perfection.
