Orchestre Les Mangelepa

Orchestre Les Mangelepa

Legendary band that have been playing in Kenya and all around Africa for 40 years, FINALLY make it across the pond, and I get to chat to them about their first festival in Europe / England, audiences around the world and their style of playing and music making. 

The Herbaliser

 I spoke to one half of the instrumental hip-hop outfit Olly, about Herbalisers origins, why it's instrumental and their journey together in music. 

Amadou and Mariam

Amadou and Mariam

Amadou and Mariam need near to no introduction: they have been chart topping the West African music scene for decades together.

I was truly honored to catch them and chat to them about their music-making, community and music in Mali, and plans for the future.

I have been a huge fan of their music, since the day I found it years and years ago, so this was a real privilege.
