Vieux Farka Toure and Khruangbin release Ali

'Ali Farka Touré trekked the world, bringing his beloved Malian music to the masses. Dubbed “the African John Lee Hooker,” ...Ali’s musical legacy lives on through his son, Vieux aka “the Hendrix of the Sahara,” an accomplished guitarist and champion of Malian music in his own right. On Ali, his collaborative album with Khruangbin, Vieux pays homage to his father by recreating some of his most resonant work, putting new twists on it while maintaining the original’s integrity. The result is a rightful ode to a legend.'

'A thunderstorm of a return is what the legendary trio Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs has in store for us on Cool It Down, their fifth studio album and their first since 2013’s Mosquito.

'Nicholas Konradsen is a Bagpipe maker and Multi-instrumentalist from east coast of England, that is using Hurdy Gurdy, Bagpipes and other traditional instruments to create contemporary folk music, and other stuff...'
