Since 2009, Awalé represents one of the best embodiments of London’s cultural diversity and richness. But it’s in the last two years, through the collaboration between Senegalese singer Biram Seck and French guitarist Thibaut Remy, that the seven-piece band has strengthened its characteristic sound built on Pan-African styles like afrobeat, Ethio-funk, soukous and desert...
Boomtown isn’t just a festival; it’s a completely immersive experience, and that’s exactly what was intended when this festival was founded. It takes place in August every year in the beautiful countryside surrounding Winchester, Hampshire. If you’ve been to Glastonbury and enjoyed the hedonism and provocation of the South East...
Not only is the Big Gorgeous Festival a festival with big heart, as it claims to be, giving all its profit in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support and Caring in Bristol, but it also has impeccable music taste. The yearly happening, taking place on the panoramic cliff of Windsor Terrace...
Before its association with elevators and beige dinner parties, jazz was all about making people dance with a sense of rebellion, similar to what rock and hip-hop later became known for. Fifteen years since their first recording, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble still prove that safe doesn’t have to be an option...
As a producer, Prince Fatty is eclectic, working across the board; his collaborations read like a who’s who from the mid-90s to now. However, perhaps Prince Fatty is best known for his presence in the Jamaican diaspora music scene. Still churning records out now, the latest release Be Thankful For...
Niños du Brasil are a rare bird in the Italian music environment. Not only do they play a Brazilian-inspired bassy and extremely rhythmic sound, but they also play it with the drive and excitement of the natives, giving life to enthralling composition and enrapturing live shows. In 2012, the duo,...
Some musicians, so positively obsessed with the traditions, styles and cultural seasons of decades past, will sometimes eventually outclass the original creators. This is the case with Altin Gün, the Amsterdam-based sextet. These musicians fell so deeply in love with the psychedelic rock of Turkey in the seventies that their...
It was scheduled for and supposed to go on scene on the night when the UK should have left Europe, but it didn’t go as expected. Well, the show was regularly featured on the evening of 29th March, but it was Brexit (as we all know) that turned out to...
You can get used to everything except for Tanya Tagaq and her art. The only constant element in the Inuk musician’s performances is indeed their unpredictability and instability. That’s how she lures her audience and keeps their eyes glued to her movements, their ears hanging on to her words, cries,...
