We are huge fans of Afrikan Boy here at Rhythm Passport. So much so, that every time the South London musician parties in his hometown you will find us in the front row. That’s what will also happen at Hootananny on Friday the 6th of March, when the Global Beats...

Little Dragon are a safe bet for a great live performance. Their music is filled with infectious rhythms and melodies that get you grooving, while lead singer Yukimi Nagano’s voice lulls you into a trance with its silkiness. Hailing from Gothenburg, the band formed in 1996 and has been releasing...
One Sunday night in Autumn 2018, they turned Hootananny upside down with their frenzied pizzica and taranta rhythms. So, we thought it was time to set the tarantula free and let it bite Brixton once again. On the 26th of April, Amaraterra will liberate into South London all the Mediterranean-scented...
On Sunday, come to Hootananny in Brixton to party the leap day away together with the wildest pan-Balkan band in town, Gipsydelica! On the last day of February, we will host the exuberant trio and their intoxicating sound connecting the dots between south-Eastern European traditions and setting them on...

We’re getting jazzier here at Rhythm Passport, and for our next Global Sounds show, we are going to present on the Hootananny stage a full Gipsy-jazz quintet: Gypsy Dynamite! You can hardly find a more spot-on name, because the ensemble will not only charm you with some smooth and rhythmic...
We grew fonder and fonder of Batov Records and its mission. In the last six years (it was founded in the “heady summer days of 2013”), the London label, captained by DJ Kobayashi, has constantly thrown a vivid light on the new sounds coming from the Middle East, East Mediterranean...
Brixton is very much a stand-out home of the musical Caribbean diaspora in London, the home of much reggae, dub and ska… and on the 29th, Brixton shall play host to perhaps the most prevalent contemporary African-American poets – The Last Poets. Hootananny, which hosts all things weird and wonderful,...
After having sailed all along the Mediterranean musical Sea, now it’s time to go ashore and discover what continental Europe has to offer when it comes to notes. For the first Rhythm Passport’s Rootmaster appointment of 2019, we will visit the Balkans, Bulgaria to be more precise, with a good-and-proper...
