RACHID TAHA AND VIEUX FARKA TOURE
+ MULATU ASTATKE & THE HELIOCENTRICS
Friday 13 November 2009, Royal Festival Hall, 7.30pm, Tickets £25 £22.50 £20
Hailed by fellow musicians and critics alike, Rachid Taha is one of world music's foremost stars, who has worked with artists including Patti Smith, Mick Jones and Robert Plant. Influenced by Algerian, Arab and Western genres, he performs tracks from his new album Bonjour. 'A feisty new African guitar hero... consistently excellent' (The Times), Vieux Farka Toure bridges the gap between Western rock and his Saharan roots, creating the music of a contemporary Africa: sophisticated, modern but deeply connected to its heritage. 'A dazzling piece of work' (Observer, in praise of Vieux Farka Toure's new album Fondo). Following Rachid Taha and Vieux Farka Toure's gig in the Royal Festival Hall, the party continues in The Clore Ballroom with a special FREE post-show event, featuring Ethio-jazz legend and star of the Ethiopiques series Mulatu Astatke performing with psych-Afro-jazz collective The Heliocentrics. Also featured are the hotly-tipped MC Afrikan Boy and new afro-beat pioneers A.J. Holmes and Vamanos (Secousse Sound System).
