Songhoy Blues
Start time: 8pm
Driven out of their native northern Mali, Songhoy Blues recreate the lost ambiance of their homeland with raucous guitar anthems influenced by Jimi Hendrix and the American blues music distantly related to the desert blues of Mali. After working with Brian Eno, Damon Albarn and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs as part of the Africa Express project, the band were invited to appear at the launch of the Maison des Jeunes album in London. Describing the experience as an explosive joy , their new UK tour ties in with the world-wide release of their debut album Music in Exile, recorded with Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. £10 @winchesterdc
