Soubour by Songhoy Blues

AngelaHalewood’s jam on 3 May ’15 (See all)

“Looking forward to seeing Songhoy Blues at Green Man Festival this year. They formed after fleeing from Timbuktu in Northern Mali when the area was taken over in 2012 by radical Islamists who banned music. This track features Nick Zinner from Yeah Yeah Yeahs.”
