Savour, swing, rhythm and joy distinguish the magic guitar of Manzanita, spanning around the golden age of Peruvian Cumbia.

Familial and unrefined, Binga encompasses the fundamental sounds of Samba Touré’s heritage. It is named after Samba’s hometown and its focus of thought is rooted deep within his culture.

The London sound has never been so inclusive and welcoming. Soothsayers, one of the most all-encompassing expressions of the British capital’s music scene, will visit Woolwich and Woolwich Works on the 9th of October for a show enriching the Black History Month event calendar. The South-London ensemble has always been...
It goes without saying that there are very few places like Haiti. The country, which occupies the Western part of La Hispaniola island, is indeed one of the most exceptional, ill-fated and troubled in the world and the recent events have only corroborated this stark reality. In spite of earthquakes,...
On Friday, they are going to be one of the very first acts to walk on the Woolwich Works stage and launch the Black History Month event calendar of the South-East London brand spanking new venue. But that’s nothing less than what they deserve because Cubafrobeat, the album-grown-into project conceived,...
Ever since the festival relocated to the West Mid Showground in 2007, its varied global line-up has continued to grow. Released from the clutches of its traditional folk narrative, it brought forward the orthodox values of its folkie origins, the Shrewsbury Folk Festival has fostered a place for world and...
Since 2017, we have been lucky to have the opportunity to write about and shine a light on Esinam’s music career following it step-by-step and release-after-release. We started with her very first single (Electric Lady, in partnership with Belgian-Congolese imaginative musician and producer Ibaaku), followed a year later by her...
