A belated tribute to the amazing Clandestino festival I went to last weekend. Never before have I been to a festival where there wasn't a single disappointing gig.
Al'Tarba - Just Like Ants
I've not danced this much since like forever.
BKO Quintet - Kongo Kono
I've been on my way to Bamako. But never reached it. One day I will have to make the trip, properly, because of Mali-music like this.
Alsarah & the Nubatones - Soukura (It's Late)
Insanely talented musicians. Insanely great groove.
Selvhenter - Stirb Langsam
The first concert of the festival, and one of the very best. Danish noise-jazz. It doesn't translate completely to record, but that heavy distorted rumble = the best use of a trombone I ever witnessed.
Hailu Mergia - Hari Meru Meru
An Ethiopian master. With the tightest drum/bass-backing I've ever had the honour to witness.
