Tamikrest Toumastin Release-Tour 2011

With their second album "Toumastin", the young Tuareg rebels create their own universe using even brighter colours. The enchanted ancient mystique of the songs captures the ear immediately, but as the music carries on the band bridges the gap between the African Blues and hypnotic dub, psychedelic funk and an almost supernatural kind of desert garage. The guitars are more offensive, the groove deepens and the Tamaschek chants are merging with the meandering guitar riffs like a caravan voyage through ancient times. Tamikrest are ready to embrace the future while proudly maintaining the rich tradition of their folk.

"Beautiful, spacious blues that unites the desert they call home... Adagh is seriously good." **** Jungle Drums

ON TOUR : THE SOULJAZZ ORCHESTRA

Since their creation in Ottawa, Canada, back in 2002, the Souljazz Orchestra have become one of the most potent bands in their field. Drawing on the rough, raw grooves of the '60s and '70s and effortlessly fusing soul, jazz, afro and latin rhythms within their music, the group have moved forward the blueprint of Fela, Fania and the funk in entirely new ways, while keeping the vital analogue grit intact. And their latest record, Rising Sun, just got a Juno Award Nomination for the 2011 "Instrumental Album of the Year"! (Junos are Canada's equivalent of the Grammies, for you non-Canadians!).
