New releases from Ireland, England, Canada and Mali.
Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba hardly need an introduction. After a two-year worldwide tour with their album Jama Ko they have now launched their fourth album Ba Power.
We all know Seckou Keita as an adventurous kora player. His latest CD 22 strings is a solo album with instrumental compositions.
Kiran Ahluwalia’s new album Sanata: Stillness is both contemplative as traditional and innovative. It is a blend of Indian and Pakistani grooves, Sahara blues and jazz.
The Young Folk is an Irish folk band, formed around singer-songwriter Anthony Furey. On June 19, from 21:00-22:00 they will be at the Concertzender for a performance and an interview. We run an number of songs from their debut album The Little Battle.
