Since its birth, in 2018, this duo has had an intense trajectory, both nationally and internationally. Taking tradition as a starting point, the duo manages to create their own unique language    0:06:48 (Pop-up)
Haratago  Belatxaberri   Favoriting Basa Ahaide    Inspired by his encounters with Turkish and Azerbaijani musicians, singer and percussionist Julen Achiary places ancestral songs of Basque Country mountain shepherds within a unique sonic tapestry woven by duduk, hurdy-gurdy, and viola da gamba.    0:12:18 (Pop-up)
Ánnámáret  Nieguid duovdagat (Dreamscapes)   Favoriting Nieguid duovdagat  Uksi Productions  Coming from a Sámi reindeer-herding family from the far-northern border of Finland and Norway, Ánnámáret embodies the ancient tradition of Sámi yoiking    0:22:09 (Pop-up)
Puuluup  Üksindus   Favoriting Viimane Suusataja  Õunaviks  Puuluup is a duo comprising multi-instrumentalist, painter and Estonian looping pioneer, Ramo Teder, and talharpa player, singer and lecturer in sociology and cultural anthropology, Marko Veisson.    0:26:23 (Pop-up)
Symbio  Journeys   Favoriting Endeavor  Gammalthea/Border Music  Symbio is the apt moniker for the symbiotic musical partnership of accordionist extraordinaire LarsEmil Öjeberget and master hurdy-gurdy manipulator Johannes Geworkian Hellman.    0:29:47 (Pop-up)
Ustad Noor Bakhsh  Kalam Lolo   Favoriting Jingul  Honiunhoni, Hive Mind  Noor Bakhsh is a master of the balochi benju, a unique instrument looking at first glance like a zither with old typewriter keys attached, said to originate from the one-time ubiquity in Balochistan of a Japanese plastic toy instrument, the taishōgoto.    0:38:42 (Pop-up)
Kutu  Walaïta   Favoriting Guramayle  Full Rhizome  Kutu was born in Addis Ababa in 2019 where prodigiously multi-faceted French violinist Théo Ceccaldi, encountered the symbiotic voices of the two Ethiopian singers, Hewan Gebrewold and Haleluya Tekletsadik, well-known on the city's vibrant underground music scene as part of the ten-piece rock band, Jano    0:44:45 (Pop-up)
Haepaary  Libation   Favoriting Born By Gorgeousness    Haepaary (pronounced 'he̞pʰa̠ri') radically redefine the music of Confuscianism. That is to say, their electronic manifestations are layered in centuries of Korean meaning, drawing melodies and lyrics from the deep well of Jongmyo Jeryeak, the royal ancestral ceremony music of the Joseon dynasty (1392–1897), and Namchang Gagok, a traditional Korean vocal genre previously performed exclusively by men, and immersing them in a spectral bath of sound and pulse.    0:48:39 (Pop-up)
Jausmė  Po Ledu   Favoriting Namolio    The Lithuanian singer-storyteller carries her love for the traditional kanklės zither-harp across physical and stylistic borders, building beguiling ambient songs meshing intimations of contemporary influences with organically rooted resonance, creating a new genre of urban etherealism.    0:52:15 (Pop-up)
Cocanha  Au son deu vriolon   Favoriting Puput    Occitan polyphonic vocal singing and dance rhythms resonantly beaten out on stringed tambourines form the inspirational base for Cocanha's celebration of identity, community, family and everyday beauty    0:56:46 (Pop-up)
BCUC (Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness)  Ntuthwane   Favoriting Millions of Us    “Ladies and gentlemen, we call ourselves Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness and we are here to give you the best time of your lives.” From their beginnings in Soweto over a decade ago, BCUC have been delivering on this existential promise of transcendence, steadily building the scope of their travels  *   1:04:20 (Pop-up)
Bamba Wassalou Groove  Kamalinya   Favoriting Dankélé  Lusafrica  Bamba Wassoulou Groove were originally formed to honour the legacy of late Malian guitar legend Zani Diabaté, a prime mover in mixing traditional styles with rock energy in the ‘80s with his Super Djata Band. Percussionist Bamba Dembélé, who played in the Super Djata band before joining the legendary Super Rail Band, put together Bamba Wassoulou Groove with fellow Super Rail musicians, guitarist Moussa Diabaté and drummer Maguett Diop in 2013, two years after Zani Diabaté passed away. Completing the line-up with pick of a new generation of players, they quickly established themselves as a major force.    1:10:57 (Pop-up)
Ailá  Funañá   Favoriting Sansolimón    The popular folk music bar Casa das Crechas in Santiago de Compostela has long been a breeding ground for international music conversations and collaborations, and it is from this here that Ailá have emerged. They are part of a growing movement in Galicia, known as tribus tradis, inspired by respect for Galician heritage music, dance and poetry, but with a boundless vision infused with global culture.  *   1:15:11 (Pop-up)
Avalanche Kaito  Douaga   Favoriting Avalanche Kaito  Glitterbeat  The PR subheading is griot post-punk noise, which doesn't adequately describe the masterful fusion of traditional Burkinabe songs with post-modern pre-futuristic electrically charged blocks of monolithic staccato grooves generated by Avalanche Kaito. Singer, percussionist, peul flute, and one-string bow player Kaito Wimse from Burkina Faso was looking for 'music that didn't exist yet' and journeyed from Ouagadougou to Brussels in 2017    1:18:37 (Pop-up)
Defmaa Maadef  Oh Maliko   Favoriting Oh Maliko    A high-energy encounter of two queens of the Senegalese urban scene, joining formidable forces to push the new sounds of Dakar further into global awareness. DefMaa MaaDef are Mamy Victory, renowned rapper with a reputation as a powerful stage presence, and Defa, a sought-after singer on the R&B scene, known for her involvement with prominent hi-speed hip-hoppers, Daara J Family.    1:24:09 (Pop-up)
Kin'gongolo Kiniata  Kingongolo   Favoriting Kingongolo    Master upcyclers from Kinshasa, Kin'Gongolo Kiniata draw on the frenetic energy of the city's urban streets to produce their own experimental Afro-punk rumba, laying down seriously funky grooves invoked from an impressive arsenal of self-made percussion and stringed instruments ingeniously assembled from discarded plastic bottles, metal objects and household items. The name comes from the sound heard when itinerant oil sellers walk the streets during power cuts, carrying the clanging metal containers which provide an alternative source of light.    1:27:53 (Pop-up)
Ko Shin Moon  Antelias   Favoriting Miniature I    Armed with traditional stringed instruments and electronic music machines, Ko Shin Moon stage a harmonious collision between Mediterranean cultures and psychedelic space disco in their quest for eclecticism, cosmopolitanism and hybridity born of free and respectful experimentation. They emerged in 2017 when Axel Moon returned from a four-year journey collecting folk instruments and reunited with old friend Niko Shin, who had been busy setting up a studio full of analogue synthesisers and vintage recording equipment    1:34:04 (Pop-up)
Jinj  Kayner Es   Favoriting Club Sandwich    French-born Armenian singer Sevana Tchakerian returned to her war-ravaged homeland to team up with producer/guitarist Gor Tadevosyan and create an extraordinary mix of Armenian folk with hip-hop, projecting positive messages projected through inventive, surreal videos.    1:36:55 (Pop-up)
Danûk  De Çêkin   Favoriting Morik    Exile sharpens the awareness of home. Danûk came together amidst chaotic times in 2015 in Istanbul, to where the group of music and fine arts graduates had fled the war in Syria. To survive they took to street performances, soon gaining a commission to compose a film score. As the ensemble evolved, they sought to revive a collective consciousness of their homeland, exploring phonograph recordings of Kurdish folklore and wedding songs, preserved on wax cylinders and discs for over a century in institutional archives in Berlin and Vienna. A selection of these deeply weathered songs forms the basis of their album, Morîk    1:41:19 (Pop-up)
La Sonora Mazuren  Desliz   Favoriting Bailando con Extraños    La Sonora Mazurén have grown out of Bogotá's ever-expanding alternative music scene, hotbed of multi-directional, neo-tropicalia, as championed by names such as the Meridian Brothers and Los Pirañas.    1:44:30 (Pop-up)
Mitra Sumara  Aroose Noghreh Poosh   Favoriting Single  Cardinal  GIG: Tomorrow night @ the Sultan Room  *   1:53:56 (Pop-up)
The Good Ones  This Amazing Love Has Stayed With Me   Favoriting Single  Six Degrees  GIG: Tomorrow night @ Fotografiska (presented by World Music Institute)  *   1:56:32 (Pop-up)
