The April Arsenal of Sounds, our 'every first Friday of the month' series supported by Arts Council England, brings us to Bangladesh and Nepal. This concert will shine a light on the music traditions of those countries, and show how the London music scene has welcomed, integrated and eventually reshaped and expanded on those sounds.
Lokkhi Terra and Bajabaah are both London-based groups who brought Bangladeshi and Nepali music to the UK, and opened them up to the world, featuring elements from Cuba and the Caribbean, Western Africa and the British capital itself in their compositions.
Lokkhi Terra has become one of the most appreciated and danced to 'fusionistas' in the UK, blending Bangladeshi folk with afrobeat, rumba and reggae, while Roshan Gurung of Bajabaah is an intriguing, up-and-coming musician, harmonising traditional Nepali repertoire with electronica, and experimental beats.
