Song(s) of the Day # 402 Songhoy Blues


A group of musicians whose time seems to have come. Exiled from their native Mali by a music ban, they're gathering momentum in the UK. Their debut album is produced by Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It's interesting to see the influence of Western Rock musicians such as Led Zeppelin, Talking Heads and the like from the Seventies coming back. They played the 6 Music Festival at The Cumberland Arms in Newcastle a couple of hours away from me on Saturday and I missed them. More fool me!
