Preview: Between The Lines w/ Sarathy Korwar, Danalogue, Fehdah, Pouya Ehsaei, Yelfris Valdes @ Corsica Studios (London; Thursday 16th & Friday 17th May 2019)
Removing the edges and scouting for more freedom, Between The Lines is a new series of live music nights, exploring the musical space between genre boundaries. The first two shows will take place on 16th and 17th May at Corsica Studios and will feature influences from artists that play a range of world music, such as West African Wassalou music to Irish poetry.
The first night will see three sets of musicians play: Sarathy; Danalogue, Fehdah and PouyaEhsaei; and YelfrisValdes. Collectively, they will bring a mix of electronics, tabla, Afrofuturism, Wassoulou, and Cuban trumpet.
All players have been brought together by their mutual love of experimentation and playfulness, and it’s hard to predict what route they’ll take on their way to finding that connection. However, what could be more fun than taking away the rules and indulging in a one-night affair with whatever is created on the night.

Sarathy Korwar’s album KALAK, released in November 2022 via The Leaf Label, is a cohesive collection of rhythm-driven soundscapes that set in motion travel towards a past-informed, as-yet unformed future.

For this episode of Rhythm Passport Presents, we tried to compress, squeeze and cram 12 months’ worth of notes, rhythms and sounds from all over the world in roughly 120 minutes. Of course, we had to leave our far too many quality tunes. Still, we tried hard and did our…

Despite being huge advocates of and using written words and sounds on a daily basis, we are also big fans of images and their expressive power. That’s why we can’t help but feature and share with you some photo memories of the recent Plugged event that went on stage at…
Albums like More Arriving are windows into the present. Their perspective on the here and now is so spot on and accurate that they sound like the best portrayal of the days we currently live in. After having listened to them, you feel the compulsion to delve further into their…
On the list of the worst conversation starters, “Where are you from?” would be right up there. Reducing the person to a Lonely Planet cardboard cut-out is one thing, but when the question is prompted by your accent, complexion or general foreignness, it becomes a euphemism for, “You stick out…

When it comes to Yelfris Valdés and his countless music projects, you can be sure of two things: their quality and ability to surprise you. No matter whether they are more Latin, Afro-Cuban, electronic, traditional, jazz-oriented, or just fundamentally expressing their author – like the upcoming debut EP titled The…
That euphoric swelling an artist feels when they connect with their audience is what rumba musicians describe as ‘Manana’. The purity of this Cuban chemistry was the motivation behind the 2016 Manana//Cuba Festival in Santiago de Cuba, the Manana record label, and subsequently this month’s Barbican gig. Three friends are…
The concept behind the AfroCubism collaboration is to celebrate and unite some of Mali and Cuba’s hottest musicians and to explore their shared spirit of Afro-Cuban soul. In the Sixties, socialist Mali politics had close links to those of the new communist Cuban government, creating strong ties between the two…
