Music In Exile

Description

« Rock hit that smells of sunshine and the hot roads of Africa »Les InrocksSonghoy Blues is a Malian rock band discovered by Damon Albarn through his Africa Express project. With their anthem « Soubour » produced by Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), the 4 young musicians have directly conquered the music world and its strongest representatives, including the mastermind of Blur and Gorillaz. Indeed, Damon Albarn invited them to open for his concert at the Royal Albert Hall because he finds in this band the musical affinities that make him who he is today, a reference. Between Malian chants, electric guitars, and tribal rhythms, at the crossroads of world music and rock, Songhoy Blues offers us a clever blend, in what is already shaping up to be one of the great albums of the year.
