Total Hip Replacement are a 7-piece reggae and Afro-fusion band based in Aarhus, Denmark. ‘Smoke and Mirrors’, their latest single and video, is the outcome of their collaboration with Ghanaian highlife band Kwashibu Area Band led by multi-instrumentalist Kwame Yeboah. Find out more visiting the band’s official website:...
Soweto Kinch’s White Juju dropped us on a political see-saw of time. Unsettling. Disturbing. But with an overtone of hope. It was a brutally honest and intellectual investigation into the “powerful suspicion that the current receptivity to the black experience… may only be momentary”. All conveyed through an uncommon mix of...
After winning three Grammys, it’s clear Cécile McLorin Salvant has been faced with artistic compromise. I felt she had sadly succumbed to sticking with her status quo. The performance felt bedded in her safe place. However she is a real master of reinventing songs and it’s her embodiment of every...
Judi Jackson is able to tease out more erotic energy from a crowd than eighteen months of lockdown boredom. Or maybe it’s the combination of both. This was a night packed with couples flirting, whispering and grinding. I was enchanted too, and just one worrying step away from trying to...

There’s a small but wonderful miracle going on air throughout the depths of the Peruvian Amazonas. Aptly named La Voz de La Selva, the radio station based in Iquitos (in North Eastern Peru) is the only media of communication reaching and giving voice to the communities living in the vast,...
From our personal experience, we never found it too hard to fall for local Cuban music traditions. Still, the musical infatuation is even more gratifying and intense when prompted and guided by a fully committed music researcher, journalist, podcaster and producer like Gianluca Tramontana. That’s how we approached changüí, the...
Archie Shepp may not have executed his ideas with the same technical dexterity I imagine of earlier years. However in his mid-eighties, he still delivered a beautifully effectual experience that transcended any physical limitations. Alongside Jason Moran, their musical ideas revealed their reverence towards the plight of inequality and the complexities...
From the underwater soundscape of a mangrove forest in Mexico to the musical heights of Los Glaciares Park in Argentina, and from the lushness of beats of the Canadian Pacific Coast woodland to the melodies of a Polish one, El Búho has made room and sheltered nature into his remarkable brand-new...
With Liraz there are no half measures and once she’s on stage, you end up following her unconditionally. You are initially tantalised by her glittery electro-pop world by the Middle Eastern-scented aromatic vibes of her tunes, then she entraps you in it with her stage presence, dedication and social commitment...

We have already introduced the acts enriching this year’s edition, so on this occasion,...
